Senator Jack Reed has said he favors seeking an extension of the May 1 deadline for withdrawing the troops.

The New York Times reported American Senator Jack Reed said the US should be looking for an extension to give diplomats to negotiate an agreement between the Afghan government and the Taliban.

The former president Donald Trump had negotiated with the Taliban last year for withdrawing Troops from Afghanistan.

“To pull out within several months to now is a very challenging and destabilizing effort,” Jack said in a video conference.

He also said that the top American national security priority should be to prevent terrorist organizations to use Afghanistan as a haven to carry out strikes.

“We’ve got to be able to assure the world and the American public that Afghanistan will not be a source of planning, plotting to project terrorist attacks around the globe,” he added, “that’s the minimum. I’m not sure we can do that without some presence there.”
