Trump - Afghanistan

 New Republic: Ex–Trump Adviser Drops Bombshell About Trump’s Taliban Deal - H.R. McMaster is pointing to Donald Trump for the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

 General H.R. McMaster told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Monday night that Trump, while president, sought to negotiate with the Taliban as U.S. troops began leaving Afghanistan, which undermined the Afghan government. As a result, the U.S. government forced the Afghan government to release 5,000 members of the Taliban.
