Ashton Carter: US Will Remain 'Committed' to Afghanistan

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Friday that "America is, and will remain, committed to a sovereign and secure Afghanistan."


Carter made the comments Friday in Kabul at a joint news conference with President Ashraf Ghani, amid questions on how U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will handle the 15-year war.

The president-elect has given little indication of his foreign policy plans, and in particular, the war in Afghanistan was not a frequent point of discussion during his campaign.

Trump and Ghani spoke over the phone last week and discussed "terrorism threats facing both countries," according to a statement released by the transition team.
