The United States seeks U.N. Security Council backing for the ambitious peace deal it signed with the Taliban aimed at ending America’s longest war and bringing U.S. troops home from Afghanistan.

UNITED NATIONS — The United States is seeking U.N. Security Council backing for the ambitious peace deal it signed with the Taliban aimed at ending America’s longest war and bringing U.S. troops home from Afghanistan.

It would also encourage “the sustained support” of the United Nations and international partners for efforts toward peace, including the convening of “intra-Afghan negotiations in order to achieve a political settlement and a permanent and comprehensive cease-fire.” According to the U.S.-Taliban deal, peace negotiations between the warring Afghan sides are supposed to begin March 10. However, the Afghan government has already rejected releasing Taliban prisoners ahead of launching the talks, a precondition that the militants say was part of the U.S. agreement.

The draft resolution would also welcome the intention of the Afghan government and the Taliban to pursue additional confidence-building measures to create conditions conducive for talks. And it would call for additional reductions in violence and international support for Afghanistan prior to a cease-fire agreement.

An attempt to get some international legitimacy and credit for another cut and run.

We already started airstrikes back up tho

Sure love making deals with terrorists who murder thousands of Americans and leave even more corpses in their wake back home! Are all-expense-paid visits to Camp David also included in the deal?

Insane or over clever Cowboy ? Only elected Afghan Govt as represented by Presidents DrabdullahCE & ashrafghani represent Afghanistan. UNSC cannot legitimise American Sovereignty over Kabul or any other Nation. UNSC cannot legitimise or lend license to mass murderers.

So I take it the over bloated & over rated “I alone can do it” has enter the R.I.P. mode?

Vietnam

For the “deal” that didn’t include the Afghan govt or protections for women?

Yes. As they de-fund UN agencies. Perfect.

Oh really. Really? Now we seek UN help? After our potus maligned and bitched and complained and even held back dues cuz he thought it was too much money? Now he wants their help? Of course he freaking does. What an absolute disgrace he is.

Why not mention the Taliban attack after the signing? Again.

Why does Trump care what the UN has to say?

American NEEDS to leave, its time, we have been there too long and have accomplished nothing for it but lost treasure and dead kids. But can a peace deal be truly struck. Doubt it. Taliban are just evil. As soon as America is out it will be like we were never there. Believe it.

Lol what? The Taliban broke it when the ink was still dry

Why would they back Trump on this, they will only get the blame when it goes tits up. He has no credibility left.

And now after 3 years of constantly saying FU to the UN & threatening to cut funding, the trump administration wants the UN to support them. Maybe if they offer a quid pro quo...

It's a 'shooting peace'. Only from Trump® Brand Deals™

Oh wasn't there a peace treaty? Who broke it? And why?
