The letter, emailed to journalists Wednesday, was written on behalf of the Taliban. Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban's spokesman, warns Trump that peace will be elusive as long as foreign troops are on Afghan soil.
He adds that independence from foreign dominance is "the only asset" that an impoverished nation like Afghanistan truly has, AP reported.
Written in English, as well as Afghanistan's two prominent languages Dari and Pashto, the four-page letter waxed on about Afghanistan's history, its numerous defeats of invading armies and the reported corruption widespread in Afghanistan today.
