Brussels, June 30 (RHC)-- In Afghanistan, leaders of NATO said the military alliance will send more troops to work with U.S.-backed Afghan security forces, extending the longest war in U.S. history.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday 15 nations will contribute to the increase, though he did not say how many additional troops NATO members would send.

U.S. military leaders have asked for an additional 3,000 to 5,000 troops, after U.S. President Donald Trump gave the Pentagon authority to set troop levels.
