Washington, Jan. 29 (TNS): US President Trump said recent terrorist attacks in Afghanistan have only steeled his resolve against negotiating with the Taliban.
“There’s no talking with the Taliban,” Mr. Trump said as he hosted members of the U.N. Security Council for lunch at the White House.
“We’ll finish what we have to finish” in Afghanistan.
A suicide attack killed at least 11 Afghan troops Monday at Afghanistan’s premier military academy. Last weekend, an ambulance packed with explosives detonated on a street in Kabul, killing about 100 and injuring dozens more.
“Innocent people are being killed left and right,” Mr. Trump said. “We don’t want to talk to the Taliban. The atrocities they’re committing … it’s horrible.”
