Speaking on WBEZ’s Worldview, Carnegie’s Sarah Chayes discussed why the United States is considering waiting on a security agreement with Afghanistan until presidential elections take place in April. Washington has been unable to reach an agreement with current Afghan president Hamid Karzai, and the United States says it would like to leave more than 10,000 troops in the country after it formally withdraws forces at the end of this year. Sarah Chayes discussed how the election results could impact such an agreement.
