American silence, Taliban claims
The White House did not comment on the meeting. But the Taliban is openly claiming that both sides are moving towards “normal”. Interestingly, this meeting was held when the Taliban recently released American citizen George Glazman and Fee Hall.
Rubio hints, the verdict left on Trump
Talking to reporters at Tel Aviv, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “Bohrler had gone there to explore the possibilities. President Trump will take the final decision.” It is clear from this statement that the level of negotiation is very high and any agreement will be directly with the approval of the White House.
The Taliban said in a statement that the two sides discussed not only on prisoners, but also to improve the issues of civilians and mutual relations. Not only this, American representatives also expressed condolences to 2200 people killed in an earthquake in Afghanistan recently.
Analysts believe that the US is looking at this “new relationship” with its strategy in Asia. The Taliban, on the other hand, is trying to improve its image internationally and draw investment.
What is going on?
The question is, who was once considered a stronghold of terror, why is America preparing to join hands with the same Taliban today? Is this just a strategy to free American prisoners or is Washington preparing for a big game? At present, it is so clear that both America and Taliban are getting closer for their own benefit. In the coming days, in which side this partnership will sit, the eyes of the whole world will remain on it.
