US President Barack Obama announced on Tuesday that no reduction of the 9,800 US troops stationed in Afghanistan will occur this year.
Obama's decision to slow the withdrawal of US troops will hamper peace efforts, the Taliban said on Wednesday as it vowed to continue fighting.
"Obama's announcement to continue to keep troops in Afghanistan is a response to the peace efforts," Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said.
