Taliban launch an attack on a second Afghan city in as many days while a US envoy says US, Taliban are at 'threshold' of Afghan agreement - official

US and Taliban negotiators are close to an agreement that would reduce fighting and allow full peace talks among Afghans, a top US official said on Sunday.

The comment came a day after a major show of strength by hundreds of Taliban fighters who overran parts of Kunduz, a city they have twice come close to taking in recent years, setting off a day of gun battles and air strikes to drive them back. The agreement would not on its own end the fighting between the Taliban and Afghan security forces, but would allow the start of so-called "intra-Afghan" peace talks, which are expected to be held in the Norwegian capital of Oslo.

What has happened to the USA under POTUS Trump?

Scores killed as Taliban, Afghan forces clash in Kunduz despite peace talksDozens killed as the Taliban attack Afghanistan’s Kunduz city, despite reports Washington and the militant group are close to finalising a peace deal Taliban don't want foreign troops in the country and trump I'm sure won't leave completely as he said some 8000 troops will stay behind, Taliban does not recognise the Constitution & pupet govt. of ashraf, so I'm not optimistic about the deal. Taliban's power show! Americans are begging for peace talks but not Talibans, so it's ok to continue hunting of Americans 😂
