US president Donald Trump says peace talks with Taliban are proceeding well in Afghanistan after 18 years of war.
“Negotiating are proceeding well in Afghanistan,” Trump twitted on Wednesday, after US officials previously said that there had been significant progress in talks to end the longest war in the history of America.
“Fighting continues but the people of Afghanistan want peace in this never ending war,” Trump stressed.
On Monday, U.S. special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad told the New York Times that the United States and the insurgent group had sketched the outlines of an eventual peace deal.
A U.S. State Department spokesman said this week the talks had been “positive” but that no agreement had been reached yet.
However, the US president further said that “we will soon see if talks will be successful?”
