On Abdullah Abdullah, at a press conference, on March 26 said that the announcement of immediate reduction in US aid to Afghanistan worth $1B cannot be compensated, reports Tolo News. “Pompeo [US Secretary of State Mike] said that the aid reduction of $1 billion to Afghanistan would not be the last move of the US if political tensions continue,” Abdullah said. Abdullah also contradicted the March 24 statement of President Ashraf Ghani in which he said that the cut in assistance will not have a direct impact on key sectors in Afghanistan. Abdullah in this regard said that “there should not be irresponsible comments” over the aid reduction.
