NBC: Pentagon prepares a plan to remove all US troops from Afghanistan

The network, citing one of its sources in the Ministry of Defense, said on Monday that the plan is under preparation, and will be applied in the event of a decision on the withdrawal of US troops quickly within weeks to come.

According to the NBC, the decision could be surprising, similar to the decision to withdraw troops from Syria.

Earlier Monday, the New York Times quoted General Scott Miller, who commands US and NATO forces in Afghanistan, as saying that America withdrew 2,000 troops from Afghanistan during the past year.

The newspaper pointed out that this happened despite the failure of Washington and the "Taliban" to an agreement on bringing peace to Afghanistan.
