Trump: Probably Below 5,000 Troops in Afghanistan by US Election
[ToloNews] The US will reduce its military presence in Afghanistan to about 4,000 troops "very soon," said President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , in an interview with Axios on HBO. "We are largely out of Afghanistan," Trump said in an interview with the news website Axios which was filmed on Tuesday, July 28, and aired Monday, Aug. 3, on HBO. "We'll be down in a very short period of time to 8,000, then we're going to be down to 4,000, we're negotiating right now," Trump said. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... he did not specify any exact times. Trump was asked about how many US troops will remain in Afghanistan on election day in November. He said that it would be "probably anywhere from four to five thousand." The US-Taliban  ...mindless ferocity in a turban...agreement signed on February 29 calls for the US to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and it also called for the Afghan government to free 5,000 Taliban prisoners in return for the Taliban's release of up to 1,000 government detainees. The Taliban has released around 1,000 detainees. The Afghan government, under US pressure, has freed around 4,600 Taliban prisoners in accordance with a list provided by the Taliban, but has balked at releasing the remaining 400 prisoners on the list, saying these detainees have committed serious crimes. The Afghan government is convening a consultative Loya Jirga, the grand assembly of Afghan elders and representatives, to find a consensus on the decision to release these 400 Taliban prisoners who are accused of crimes including murder, drug trafficking and abduction, a senior government official said on Monday. At least 3,200 people will attend the Loya Jirga, according to presidential front man Sediq Sediqqi, who held a presser in Kabul on Monday.
