US Secretary of State Pompeo says peace talks in Afghanistan are dead 'for now,' after President Trump cancelled planned secret meetings with Afghan and Taliban leaders at Camp David
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks to the media at the State Department in Washington, US on August 7, 2019.
US President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced on Saturday that he had canceled peace talks with the Taliban's "major leaders" at the Camp David, Maryland, presidential compound after the group claimed responsibility for a Kabul attack last week that killed a US soldier and 11 other people. US diplomats have been talking with Taliban representatives for months about a plan to withdraw thousands of American troops in exchange for security guarantees by the Taliban.
Asked about the Camp David meeting scheduled for Sunday, Pompeo said Trump decided to get personally involved to get the agreement to the finish line.
