President Trump announced the United States had reached an agreement with the Taliban that could lead to the end of U.S. deployment in Afghanistan.
WASHINGTON — It was 6,720 days ago that George W. Bush announced the United States was undertaking “carefully targeted actions” in Afghanistan meant to root out the al-Qaida terrorists who had planned and executed the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., on Sept. 11. Operation Enduring Freedom, as the military operation was known, would oust the Taliban fundamentalists who controlled the country and had allowed Osama bin Laden’s organization to set up shop there.
“There hasn’t been a moment like this,” Trump said in remarks that addressed both the Taliban peace deal and the burgeoning coronavirus crisis. “The other side’s tired of war,” the president said. “Everybody’s tired of war.” There still remains the question of how the Taliban will come to terms with the U.S.-recognized government in Kabul, headed by President Ashraf Ghani. Still, the deal represents a victory for Trump, who ran for president in 2016 on the promise to end American involvement in foreign conflicts.
The confluence of the coronavirus scare and the developments in Afghanistan underscore Trump’s complex standing on the global stage, where he has frequently been a reluctant participant in coalition-driven effort.
