A second official told ABC News that discussions have been underway for several weeks about how to withdraw some U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
There are currently about 14,000 U.S. troops serving in a counterterrorism mission against the Taliban and al-Qaeda and as part of a train, advise, and assist mission for Afghan security forces.
