President Trump says he could win war in Afghanistan but doesn’t want to kill 10 million people
“I have plans on Afghanistan that if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the Earth. It would be gone. It would be over in — literally in ten days. And I don’t want to do — I don’t want to go that route,” Trump said.
The president met with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan for a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office and working lunch at the White House during which Afghanistan was top of the agenda.
Pakistan’s support is critical for the Trump administration to end military involvement in Afghanistan, the longest war in American history, and the United States plans to encourage Pakistan to “deepen and sustain” its recent crackdown against militants and terrorists in the region, according to a senior administration official.
