Washington-Sana
US President Donald Trump announced today his intention to meet with the leaders of the Taliban armed movement in the near future, praising an agreement concluded earlier today by his negotiators with the movement that continues its armed operations in a country witnessing escalating violence.
Trump spoke at a press conference held at the White House, according to Reuters about the intention of his country's forces to begin the immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan "from today without delay" without giving indications or indications of implementing this step.
Observers believe that Trump's applause with this agreement constitutes a new step aimed at investing in the upcoming US presidential elections scheduled for next November.
Trump called on the neighboring countries of Afghanistan to help maintain stability there after the agreement concluded by America and the armed Taliban movement, expressing his hope for the success of the upcoming talks between the Afghan parties at a time when experts believe it will be "much more complicated than the initial agreement."
The United States occupied Afghanistan after its invasion of it in 2001 under the pretext of fighting the Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorists after the events of September 11, to turn this poor country into a focus of terrorist organizations and chaos.
The agreement provides for the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan within fourteen months, and the Taliban also pledged to sever their ties with the terrorist organization Al Qaeda and enter into negotiations with the Afghan government by the first of next March.
