Rasmussen stated that NATO has to pullout from the country if a new president is not elected soon to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) with the U.S., allowing foreign forces to stay in the country post-2014.
"Soon we will have to take tough decisions because if there is not a legal basis for our continued presence in Afghanistan, we will have to withdraw everything by the end of this year and to do that we will have to start planning ... very soon," Rasmussen told Reuters, without giving an exact date for the withdrawal.
