- United States
The United States correctly handled reported intelligence that Russia was paying bounties to Taliban-affiliated militants to kill U.S. soldiers in terms of the protection of U.S. troops, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday.
However, speaking to reporters, Pompeo did not explicitly confirm the intelligence, which has been widely reported in the media, nor did he address whether U.S. President Donald Trump was made aware of it.
