Mattis has not yet signed the decree about increase the American mission in Afghanistan.
The Minister of defence of the USA James Mattis said that in Afghanistan will be further sent to about three thousand American soldiers.
It is reported Reuters.
The Minister noted that so far not signed the decree. “In Afghanistan will be sent to more than three thousand people, and to be honest, I haven’t signed the last orders due to the fact that we are still discussing some nuances,” said Mattis.
Earlier, the US defense Department said that now in Afghanistan, there are about 11 thousand American servicemen, and not 8.4 million people, as previously stated.
Former US President Barak Obama promised to reduce the number of troops in Afghanistan by almost half. However, at the end of the presidential term has reconsidered his decision and slowed the withdrawal.
The current President of the United States Donald trump is introducing a new strategy for Afghanistan, said the need to continue the war in this country. According to him, nearly 16 years after the September 11 attacks in the United States “Americans are tired of war without victory.”
