NATO holds post-Trump talks over future of alliance’s Afghanistan mission

The NATO’s defense ministers held their first talks since US President Joe Biden took office. This comes after four years of tensions under former President Donald Trump. In their two-day virtual meeting, the key agenda is the future of alliance’s 9,600-strong mission in Afghanistan. Last year, Trump sidelined other NATO members and struck a controversial deal with the Taliban to pull out troops.
