KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice will hold talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Monday amid uncertainty about the future of U.S. troops in the country, a spokesman for Rice told Reuters.
The meeting comes a day after an assembly of Afghan elders, known as a Loya Jirga, voted to approve a security pact with the United States that would set out terms for any U.S. troops who stay on after most foreign forces withdraw next year.
