PARIS ? France’s president is expected to announce whether he will order an accelerated pullout of French troops from the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan after a meeting with the Afghan leader.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai was holding a long-scheduled Paris meeting with Nicolas Sarkozy Friday ? a week after a Taliban infiltrated the Afghan army and shot dead four French troops in eastern Afghanistan.

Sarkozy’s government has been under political pressure to withdraw French troops before the United States’ pegged timetable ends in 2014. France holds presidential elections this spring.

After the shootings, France halted its training programs for the Afghan military and threatened to withdraw its 3,600 troops ahead of schedule ? a move that could pressure NATO.
