Washington (CNN) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in an interview Sunday did not reveal any details of a potential historic meeting between President Donald Trump and leaders of the Taliban.

Trump said during a news conference a day earlier that he would meet with leaders from the militant group "in the not too distant future" following the signing earlier Saturday of a historic agreement between the US and the Taliban which sets into motion the potential of a full withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and could pave the way to ending America's longest-fought war.

Asked Sunday by CBS' Margaret Brennan on "Face the Nation" about when and where such a session will happen and whether it would be at Camp David, Pompeo said, "I don't know when. I don't know where. I'm very confident. President Trump wants to make sure that everyone in Afghanistan understands that the United States is committed to making sure that this conversation take place."

"There's a better path forward. The Taliban now know this because of the work that we've done. And President Trump will be actively engaged in helping us get the conditions right and beginning this journey that the first step was taken in Doha yesterday," Pompeo said, noting that the US has been in Afghanistan "for an awful long time."
