Washington, May 18: Afghanistan and the region poses the most significant danger to the US and the world, the White House has said .
“There’s any doubt that Afghanistan and that region of the world present the most significant danger to our homeland in terms of the possible planning of attacks and the possible providing of a safe haven if the Taliban were to come back in control as they were before 2001 and 9/11,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, said.
US is working in partnership with the government of Afghanistan to secure an area and ultimately turn it over to them to provide peace and security for their people, Gibbs said.
Responding to a question, the Press Secretary appreciated the recent steps taken by the Afghan Government in improving governance, but a lot needs to be done.
