The meeting shifted the fragile peace process from the United States, whose special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad declared a breakthrough with the Taliban just days ago, back to Moscow, which is reasserting influence in the region. But the talks, being held over two days in a hotel maintained by the Russian government, included no representatives of Presi - dent Ashraf Ghani’s gov - ernment, inviting fierce criticism from the Ameri - can-backed Afghan leader. “A peace deal with the Taliban will not be imple - mented unless there is a nationwide consensus,” Ghani said, adding that any agreements made without the Afghan gov - ernment were meaning - less. “Let hundreds of such meetings be held.” Associated Press/Carolyn Kaster This did not stop some prominent Afghan politi - President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address Tuesday to a joint session of Congress on Capitol cians, such as Mohammad Hill in Washington, as Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., look on.
