Trump administration drafting new U.S. policy on Afghanistan

US officials say work continues on Washington’s new Afghanistan policy, though its announcement timeline remains unclear pending further interagency reviews and consultations.

Paul Kapur, Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, told lawmakers that multiple US agencies are drafting a revised policy toward Afghanistan.

Speaking before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee, Kapur said the policy is still under review and requires additional coordination before being finalized and publicly announced.
