February 15, 2019 Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
U.S. acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has said that any potential U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan would be “coordinated†with other NATO members.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting on February 14 in Brussels with NATO defense ministers, Shanahan said “there will be no unilateral troop reduction†from Afghanistan.
His remarks came amid uncertainty about the timing and extent of a potential U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan that Taliban negotiators have demanded as a precondition to peace talks with the Afghan government.
