Trump Confusion

NY Times: In Afghanistan, Trump Creates Confusion Over U.S. Policy on Taliban - The president said stalled talks with the militant group were back on and called for a cease-fire — something his negotiators had deemed unrealistic. By Mujib Mashal
“They didn’t want to do a cease-fire, but now they do want to do a cease-fire, I believe,” he (Trump) said. “And it will probably work out that way. And we’ll see what happens.”

The Taliban seemed surprised by Mr. Trump’s declaration.
