Trump: Talks with Taliban Continue, Afghanistan Still Terror 'Breeding
Ground'

Ayaz Gul

   ISLAMABAD - The fate of a much-anticipated peace agreement between the
   United States and the Taliban is hanging in the balance after both
   adversaries in Afghanistan's 18-year-old war said they still have "some
   details" to discuss.

   Taliban and U.S. negotiators in recent days have repeatedly asserted
   they are ready to sign a deal. The statements triggered widespread
   media speculation that a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump
   and his national security team this past Friday could lead to a formal
   announcement about a U.S. troop drawdown.
