MEHWAR: Withdrawal of US Forces Discussed
The US Defense Secretary Mark Esper at a Pentagon news conference said Monday he wasn't sure if the drawdown had begun, but he said it must start within 10 days of the US-Taliban peace agreement that was signed on Saturday.
“The agreement says that we would reduce down to 8,600 within 135 days, if I recall correctly. And that drawdown would begin in the first 10 days. But I -- you know, my instruction to the commander was let's get moving; let's show our full faith and effort to do that,” Esper said.
In this program host Karim Amini discussed the topic with the following guests:
Fazl Hadi Wazeen, Hekmatyar’s running mate
Massoud Treshtwal, head of Afghanistan's Legal and Political Studies Institute
