US resumes talks with Taliban in Doha: US source
DOHA, Dec 7, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Washington resumed talks with the Taliban in
Qatar Saturday, a US source said, three months after President Donald Trump
abruptly halted diplomatic efforts that could end America’s longest war.
“The US rejoined talks today in Doha. The focus of discussion will be
reduction of violence that leads to intra-Afghan negotiations and a
ceasefire,” said the source briefed on efforts to end almost two decades of
war in Afghanistan.
