The Taliban are set to release a US citizen from detention following warnings from the administration of President Donald Trump. A US delegation was seen in Kabul on Tuesday as part of efforts to secure the hostage’s release.
Sources told Afghanistan International that the delegation has close ties to the Taliban authorities and that high-level talks are ongoing.
After the release, three other US detainees are expected to remain in Taliban custody.
The Trump administration recently warned the Taliban that failure to free all Americans would result in serious consequences. The United States has said Trump will not rest until all US citizens are released from Taliban prisons.
