.MaddowBlog: How and why Pres. Trump’s talks with the Taliban unraveled.
Before launching his presidential campaign in 2015, Donald Trump categorically condemned the idea of “negotiating with terrorists.” In 2012, with U.S. military leaders directly engaged in talks with the Taliban in the hopes of ending the war in Afghanistan, the New York Republican was disgusted with Barack Obama for “negotiating with our sworn enemy the Taliban – who facilitated 9/11.”
President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was calling off “peace negotiations” with Taliban leadership after a U.S. service member was killed in a suicide attack in Kabul, Afghanistan. The Twitter thread, on its face, was a little strange. The American president said he’d arranged for a secret trip, bringing Afghanistan’s president and Taliban leaders to Camp David. According to Trump, however, a recent Taliban attack, which left an American servicemember dead, derailed the process. He added that he was amazed that the Taliban wouldn’t “agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks.
In a familiar dynamic, the White House’s plan “was put together on the spur of the moment and then canceled on the spur of the moment.” True to form for Team Trump, there was no real due diligence, and the “usual National Security Council process was dispensed with.”U.S. and Taliban negotiators had reportedly come to terms on a broad agreement: American troops would withdraw and the Taliban would provide counterterrorism assurances. Afghanistan’s government was excluded from the process.
