Military Times | Trump: US will be out of Afghanistan by Christmas
President Donald Trump announced via tweet Wednesday night that all remaining U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan should be withdrawn by Christmas, putting an end to the 19-year American military conflict there.
Trump on multiple occasions in recent months has suggested that he wants American forces out of the war-torn country as soon as possible. In August, he said in an interview with Axios that he expected U.S. troop numbers in Afghanistan to be reduced to under 5,000 by Election Day. |
