Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger and Florida Rep. Michael Waltz both had tough words for the commander in chief after he invited Taliban leaders to Camp David.
President Donald Trump is under fire for sensationally announcing on Saturday that he had cancelled an imminent peace agreement with the Taliban, which would have involved the group's representatives traveling to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.in a Kabul bombing on Thursday, dashing hopes that the White House could bring almost 18 years of war to an end.
But Kinzinger said he was in"disbelief" at the idea that Taliban leaders, in the week of the anniversary of 9/11, were heading to Camp David, which"has been a place of such wonderful things that have happened in the past." Waltz also urged the president to step away from the deal, telling CNN he does"not ever want to see these terrorists step foot on United States soil, period," especially given the coming anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
