An American Special Forces soldier was killed in Afghanistan Thursday as violence continues throughout the region amid ongoing peace negotiations between U.S. and Taliban officials.
The United States is currently engaged in a series of peace talks with representatives of the Taliban, which could result in a cease-fire agreement and lay a road map for a broader framework for stability. Further talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government would involve questions of power-sharing and the role of women in Afghan society, who are currently given constitutional protections.
Today's news brings the total number of U.S. service members killed this year in Afghanistan to 15, its highest level in five years. Cautious hopes for a quiet resolution to the peace process were further rattled when a bomb blast killed 63 at a wedding in Kabul earlier this month. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for that attack.
After Trump made similar comments last month, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's office immediately asked for"clarification" through diplomatic channels. "We reserve the right to keep all options on the table," said Esper."But, look, clearly we have a plan going forward. The key to resolve this conflict is a political agreement. We're on that path right now. We're hopeful that we can reach some type of conclusion that would result in a political agreement that can get us on the right trajectory."
