US President Barack Obama has finalised his strategy for the US military operation in Afghanistan and is informing world leaders, say officials.
Obama shared his plans for sending additional troops to the country with senior military figures on Sunday night, a White House spokesman said, cited by the BBC.
The president is now briefing the UK, French and Russian leaders on the plan.
The moves come as UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he would send 500 more soldiers to the country.
Obama's plans for Afghanistan - which are expected to involve sending tens of thousands extra troops - are due to be formally announced on Tuesday.
The US currently has about 68 000 troops in Afghanistan, which contribute to total foreign forces of more than 100 000.
According to US media reports, Obama may announce a further 30 000 troops are to be sent.
