The U.S. is preparing to sign an agreement with the Taliban February 29, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement.
Earlier, the U.S. had discussed with the Taliban a seven-day reduction in violence in Afghanistan. At that time, the radical Taliban promised to stop bombings and missile attacks. It was reported that the period of violence reduction in the country should begin in the coming days. Tolo, citing the decision of the Afghan National Security Council, said that the process of reducing violence in Afghanistan will begin at midnight from Friday to Saturday local time.
“In recent weeks…U.S. negotiators in Doha have agreed with the Taliban on a significant reduction in violence in Afghanistan. After the successful implementation of these measures, progress is expected in the process of signing the agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban. We are preparing to sign (the agreement with the Taliban) February 29”, – Pompeo said in a statement posted on Twitter by U.S. State Department spokesman Morgan Ortagus.
