House Subpoenas U.S.' Top Afghanistan Negotiator

Eliot Engel, Chairman of the Afghanistan Reconciliation Committee, has requested Zalmay Khalilzad to testify about the Afghanistan peace plan after the Department of Defense ignored briefing requests. Engel expressed frustration over the administration's lack of transparency, especially after President Trump canceled a meeting with Afghan and Taliban leaders, declaring the peace plan dead. Engel emphasized the need for Congress to hear directly from Khalilzad, the top negotiator, as the State Department previously refused to make him available, despite his appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
