France, the UK and Germany all raise the possibility of troops staying beyond the end of August.
The US is being pressed to allow more time for evacuation from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan as the deadline for its withdrawal nears.But France, the UK and Germany all raised the possibility of allowing more time ahead of a summit on Tuesday.
However the Taliban have told the BBC that any extension would violate the agreed deal and warned of consequences if forces remained. Many of the people fleeing, particularly those who worked with foreign forces, live in fear of reprisals from a group that imposed a harsh version of Islamic law when in power from 1996 to 2001.
Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said he had discussed keeping Kabul airport open beyond the deadline with Nato allies and the Taliban.
