Pompeo was also asked whether Trump will order the complete withdrawal of the Afghan garrison before the end of his term.
He said that this is the mission goal that has been set. “The president is about to make a decision. He currently says that we will drop from the current 4000 to about 2500”, but did not disclose the timetable.
