H.R. McMaster, former US national security adviser, said President Trump partnered with the Taliban ahead of this month’s peace negotiations in Doha but insisted on continued support of Washington to the Afghan government.  

He expressed the remarks in an interview about his new book on the 53rd Season Premiere of 60 Minutes on Sunday and was quoted in a report by CBS News.

The opening ceremony of the intra-Afghan negotiations was held in Doha on September 12 with the hope to find a political settlement to decades of conflicts in Afghanistan. TOLOnews reporter Karim Amini said on Friday that the “contact groups” of the negotiating teams of Afghan republic and the Taliban did not held a meeting on Thursday, September 17, and that they will probably hold no meeting on Friday.
