A proposed peace deal would see the
United States withdraw thousands of troops from
Afghanistan in exchange for promises from the
Taliban that it would renounce Al-Qaeda, US media reported on Thursday.
The US and the Taliban are soon expected to begin their eighth round of talks in Doha to reach a deal that would end America's nearly 18-year involvement in Afghanistan.
The
Washington Post reported that an initial deal to end the war would see US troop numbers in the country fall to as low as 8,000 from their current level of around 14,000.
