WASHINGTON, Sept 09 (Xinhua): US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday he hopes the United States and the Taliban can resume talks in the future.
Pompeo said in an interview with Fox News that talks are dead "for the time being" after one U.S. soldier was killed in Afghanistan on Thursday.
"I hope we get them started back," Pompeo said, referring to the talks, adding the Taliban "have got to demonstrate that they are prepared to do the things that we asked them to do in the course of those negotiations."
