Washington, December 16 (RHC)-- Amid reports of a failed war in Afghanistan, the Trump administration is planning to withdraw 4,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan, with the U.S. president set to make an announcement as early as this week.
The troop reduction would leave between 8,000 and 9,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan continuing to fight the longest war in U.S. history, now in its 19th year. This comes just days after a major exposé by The Washington Post revealed senior U.S. officials lied throughout the war in Afghanistan about progress, while hiding evidence it had become unwinnable.
