Trump confirms the U.S. plans to cut its military forces in Afghanistan to 8,600 troops
“We’re going to keep a presence there,” he said in the radio interview. “We’re reducing that presence very substantially, and we’re going to always have a presence. We’re going to have high intelligence.”

Joseph Dunford said yesterday that it’s “premature” to discuss whether the U.S. would eventually meet that demand or would insist on a stay-behind counterterrorism force aimed at Islamic State and al-Qaida militants.
