Afghanistan's Taliban accuses Trump administration of violating terms of peace deal

In his tweet, Leggett called for the Taliban to reduce violence and said the US military will continue to come to the aid of Afghanistan's security forces if attacked, in line with the agreement. The Taliban said these limits on their attacks had not been specifically laid out in the agreement with the US signed in February.
Ghani's move came even as Afghan mediators — including former President Hamid Karzai — shuttled between the president and his opponent, Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, who has also declared himself Afghanistan's president. Washington has threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid this year if Ghani and Abdullah can't reach a compromise.
