Pompeo said it was now up to the Taliban to "change their behavior." America's top diplomat isn't saying whether or when peace talks would resume. In the end, Pompeo said, "this will be resolved through a series of conversations. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/31664eL via Latest News

Adam Kinzinger (R-IL)—have openly derided the move.Peace Talks With the Taliban A

(Bloomberg) -- Two Democratic presidential hopefuls walked back their attacks on front runner Joe Biden as they faced questions Saturday about their previous statements on the former vice president.Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio, who this week said he’s lost faith in the front-runner’s ability to beat Donald Trump, and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, who spent weeks criticizing Biden’s record on race, both said their goal is to win back the White House.“I have some concerns with a lot of the candidates,” Ryan said at the New Hampshire state Democratic Convention in Manchester. “It was a comment that I made and I’m not backtracking from it, it is a concern you’re hearing from a lot of people.”But Ryan, who has languished in the low single digits in polls and failed to qualify for the third debate next week, said to reporters at the event that he isn’t concerned about Biden’s age, after telling Bloomberg on Thursday that he doesn’t have faith that a “declining” Biden can defeat Trump.Wh

When Joe Biden took the stage in New Hampshire, he was greeted with the respect that comes with being a former vice president. The scene at New Hampshire's Democratic convention on Saturday highlighted one of the riddles of Biden's candidacy: He maintains a lead in nearly every poll, but his campaign events often lack the look and feel of a front-runner.
