President Donald Trump on Sunday indicated that he might leave a small number of troops and a strong presence of the US intelligence system in the war-torn Afghanistan, amid ongoing talks with the Taliban by his special envoy.
Trump last year ordered withdrawal of 7,000 troops from Afghanistan and 2,000 from Syria.
"Yes", Trump told the CBS 'Face the Nation' when asked in an interview that "Is there a scenario where you would keep troops in Afghanistan? A smaller number?"
