The Afghan Taliban have suspended preliminary talks with the United States.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement Thursday that the United States kept changing the terms of the negotiations, the Associated Press reports.

Mujahid says that the Taliban only wanted to discuss prisoner transfers and the establishment of a political office in Qatar, but U.S. negotiators wanted to broaden the discussion. Mujahid says they did not want the Afghan government included in the talks. . .
