He cited the Taliban&#8217;s refusal to honor its commitments to stop violence in the region.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said the Taliban are not meeting their commitments to reduce violence and renounce their ties to al Qaeda,&#8221; Kirby stated. &#8220;They are not meeting their commitments and as long as they are not meeting their commitments, it is going to be difficult for anybody at that negotiating table to meet their commitments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Biden administration has yet to make a decision regarding future troop levels.<\/p>\n<p>We are still committed to ending this war, but we are going to do it in lockstep with the diplomatic process to try to find a negotiated settlement,&#8221; Kirby\u00a0 continued. &#8220;I am not trying to recast that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-hawley-it-is-a-lie-that-i-incited-violence\/\"> Sen.
