'The Taliban wants to make a deal and we're meeting with them' US President Trump makes a surprise trip to Afghanistan and says Taliban is open to ceasefire
US President Donald Trump takes a photo with US troops during a surprise visit at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, November 28, 2019.
As per tradition, reporters were under strict instructions to keep the trip a secret to ensure his safety in the country. About 12,000 US forces remain in Afghanistan.Traveling with a small clutch of aides, including his acting chief of staff, press secretary and national security adviser, but not the first lady, Trump appeared in good spirits as he was escorted around the base by heavily armed soldiers, as the smell of burning fuel and garbage wafted through the chilly air.
Tens of thousands of Afghan civilians and more than 2,400 American service members have been killed since the war began 18 years ago. The US and Taliban had been close to an agreement in September that might have enabled a US troop withdrawal.
