US President Joe Biden is reconsidering the fate of 9,600 US troops in Afghanistan, who will be withdrawn from Afghanistan in May under an agreement former President Donald Trump reached with the Taliban.
Mr. Stoltenberg said NATO will continue to consider as the deadline approaches. He urged the Taliban to honor its agreements with the US, including making progress in peace talks with Afghanistan, reducing violence, and ending relations with international terrorists. Stoltenberg said NATO wants to make sure Afghanistan never becomes a haven for terrorists.
