What a great President! What other President would have taken the time to visit his troops on Thanksgiving?
BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan — President Donald Trump made a surprise trip to Afghanistan on Thanksgiving to rally U.S. troops involved in the nearly two-decade-old war effort.
It was his first visit to the country, and the president used the opportunity to announce the restart of peace negotiations with the Taliban, the insurgent force the U.S. originally invaded Afghanistan to oust. Trump made the announcement during a meeting with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, saying he believes the Taliban wants a ceasefire.
