The United States has said it is ready to work with the next Afghan president despite questions about the government's legitimacy after challenger Abdullah Abdullah withdrew from the presidential election runoff.
The move by the former foreign minister on Sunday in effect returned Hamid Karzai to the presidency unopposed.
Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Barack Obama, the US president, said Abdullah's announcement should not further delay the White House's strategy review on Afghanistan that has already dragged out for months.
