NATO chief warns of 'high' price of hasty Afghan pullout
Brussels, Nov 17 (AFP) Nov 17, 2020
An uncoordinated, hasty pullout of US and allied troops from Afghanistan could exact a "very high" price, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg warned Tuesday.

His blunt message, given in a statement, was in response to reports that US President Donald Trump is planning to accelerate the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan, where they support a NATO mission, and from Iraq.
