Pentagon plans further troop pull from Afghanistan before election
Senior Pentagon officials expect to brief President Trump on options as thousands more troops may be withdrawn from Afghanistan ahead of the November vote. The plan follows a February deal with the Taliban reducing forces from about 12,000 to 8,600 by mid July with a possible full pullout next spring if conditions are met. The Taliban has largely paused attacks, but Afghan government negotiations stall amid a spike in civilian casualties.
