Apparently gesturing to his conversation to Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the deputy political chief of Taliban, Trump said he had a \u2018very good\u2019 conversation with the Taliban leader on Tuesday. President Trump made the remarks during a round-table on Coronavirus as he was responding to a question whether it was his first conversation with the leader of the group. He said \u201cWehad a very good conversation with the leader of the Taliban today, and they\u2019re looking to get this ended, and we\u2019re looking to get it ended. I think we all have a very common interest.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ll find out about the country itself. But the country really has to get it ended,\u201d Trump said, adding that We\u2019ve been there for 20 years. Other presidents have tried and they have been unable to get any kind of an agreement.\u201d He also added \u201cThe relationship is very good that I have with the mullah. And we had a good, long conversation today. And, you know, they want to cease the violence. They\u2019d like to cease violence also.\u201d The Taliban group had earlier confirmed that Mullah Baradar had a 35-minute long conversation with President Trump over the phone on Tuesday. The conversation took place days after the two sides signed a peace deal after observing a 7-day reduction in violence which followed after 18 months of negotiations in Qatari capital of Doha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
