The U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. forces in Afghanistan have been hitting the enemy in Afghanistan harder over the past four days than at any time in the last ten years.
President Trump said in a Twitter post “We have been serving as policemen in Afghanistan, and that was not meant to be the job of our Great Soldiers, the finest on earth.”
However, he said “Over the last four days, we have been hitting our Enemy harder than at any time in the last ten years!”
President Trump on Sunday announced that he is called off peace negotiations with the Taliban group.
He said in a Twitter post on Sunday “Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday.”
Furthermore, Trump said “They were coming to the United States tonight. Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great soldiers, and 11 other people.”
He also added “I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations. What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position? They didn’t, they only made it worse! If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably don’t have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight?”
