From Commemorating 9/11, Trump vows to hit Taliban ‘harder’ than ever
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump warns that what he describes as an unprecedented US military assault against the Taliban in Afghanistan is to continue, just five days after he scrapped peace talks.
Speaking at a ceremony marking the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Trump says that over “the last four days” US forces have “hit our enemy harder than they have ever been hit before and that will continue.”
Trump says the assault was ordered after he canceled secret peace talks with the Taliban over the weekend in retaliation for a bomb attack that killed a US soldier last week.
