KABUL – United States National Security Advisor Susan Rice will meet Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Monday amid uncertainty about the future of U.S. troops in the country, a spokesman for Rice told Reuters.

Rice arrived in Afghanistan at the weekend to assess the U.S. mission in the country. It is her first trip outside the United States as National Security Advisor.

"She will meet with President Karzai later this evening at his request," spokesman Patrick Ventrell told Reuters.
