As per Afghanistan's local media reports, US President Biden will finalise his decision on the extension of the August 31 deadline within 24 hours. Notably, Biden has already sent CIA Chief William J Burns to meet the Taliban's leadership ahead of the August 31 deadline. As per Washington Post, CIA Chief William J Burns held a secret meeting in Kabul on Monday with the Taliban’s leader Abdul Ghani Baradar in the highest-level face-to-face encounter between the Taliban and the Biden administration since the militants seized the Afghan capital.
