“It all turns to trust, and between me and American there is not very good trust,” he said.

“I don't trust them and they don't trust me, the last 10 years has shown this to me. I have had fights with them and they have had propaganda against me.”

Karzai said that waiting for the elections would prove America's commitment to Afghanistan's security and safety.

As part of his pitch in favor of the deal, Karzai told the gathering that Obama had assured him in a letter sent Wednesday that any military actions by U.S. forces after 2014 will respect the safety and security of Afghans.
