The Taliban in Afghanistan has released two American nationals in what appears to be a “goodwill gesture”, the State Department spokesperson Ned Price said, adding that they will soon be reunited with their loved ones. Speaking at a daily press briefing on Tuesday, Price said Washington was continuing to raise with the Taliban the need to release any US nationals detained in Afghanistan but declined to provide who they may be and how many people may be held there.
