After a meeting with the new chairman of US joint chief of staff general Mark Milley, Khalilzad twitted: “We agreed that a political settlement that safeguards the homeland from terrorist threats, allows us to reduce the burden of war & protects two decades of progress in Afghanistan is in our national interest.”
