US commander meets Taliban leaders as Afghan peace process slows down

Gen. Austin Scott Miller, commander of US-led NATO mission in Afghanistan, the Resolute Support, has reportedly held meeting with the group’s political delegation in Doha, capital of Qatar, days after the Taliban officials pulled out of talks over a prisoner swap with the Afghan government.

The meeting between top US commander and the Taliban came as the US tries to pull its troops out of the country and the Taliban try to sign a power sharing deal with the Afghan government.
