US open to political agreement with Taliban: Trump

US President Donald Trump has said he is open to a political agreement with the Taliban in a speech detailing new US policy on the 16-year-old Afghan War.

In a speech delivered Monday, the president warned a rapid exit from Afghanistan would create a “vacuum” that would be filled by terrorists but added the war was “not a blank cheque”.

More to come.
