This comes as the US President Donald Trump called off negotiations with the Taliban in which the two sides finalised an agreement in principle which would have paved the ground for a gradual withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan.
Last week, Trump took to Twitter and said, “I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations”.
Trump tweets come after the terror attack in Kabul last week that killed 12 people and left many injured.
Apart from that, Trump refused to take part in the peace settlement talks.
