Afghanistan-Taliban Peace Conference Begins In Moscow, U.S. And The Taliban Are No-Shows


DW: US skips out on Afghanistan-Taliban conference in Moscow

The Trump administration's decision not to attend could be yet another sign of an increasingly icy relationship between Washington and Moscow. The meeting comes just after the US bombed 'IS' targets in Afghanistan.

Despite receiving an invitation, the Trump administration will not attend Friday's meeting in the Russian capital aimed at facilitating peace talks between the government of Afghanistan and the Taliban.

Conference participants are expected to include representatives from Pakistan, Iran, India, China and several other central Asian nations. Representatives of NATO nations and the United Nations will not be in attendance.
