Taliban pledges to fight US troops in Afghanistan after nearly a year of peace talks collapsed
The insurgent group's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid says Washington will regret abandoning negotiations a day after President Donald Trump said talks with the group were"dead."
The renewed war of words between the two sides raised the spectre of violence in Afghanistan as Trump and the Taliban pledged to take the fight to each other following the precipitous collapse in talks. Driving another nail into the coffin of what had appeared to be nearly finalised negotiations, Trump said a US military onslaught on the guerrillas was at its fiercest level in a decade.
Trump angrily denied that the whiplash effect of his sudden shifts on Afghanistan was causing turmoil. The cancellation — announced on Twitter — was the first time most Americans learned that such a dramatic meeting was even planned.

A big part of Trump's 2016 election victory and subsequent first term in office has been his determination to keep the US out of what he sees as unnecessary wars in Syria and other mostly Muslim countries.
