In a surprise move, Afghan President Hamid Karzai appeared to pour cold water on the chances for an immediate security deal with the U.S., saying that because of the mistrust' between him and Washington, any agreement should wait until his successor is elected.
“The agreement should be signed when the election is conducted, properly and with dignity,” he told the Loya Jirga, a council of Afghan elders Karzai convened to vote on approving the deal, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
“There is mistrust between me and America. I don't trust them, and they don't trust me,” he continued after he shared the contents of a letter President Obama sent him Thursday morning.
