The Taliban says Americans have the most to lose from cancelling peace negotiations that sought to end the 18-year war in Afghanistan.

 

In a statement, the group claimed all was going well until the last moment.

 

US President Donald Trump fired off a series of tweets on Saturday night, calling off the secret meeting at his Camp David retreat the following day.

 

He said his decision came after the Taliban admitted being behind a recent attack that killed a US soldier.
