Trump's new strategy for Afghanistan focused on gaining regional support

摘要

President Donald Trump has announced the United States will add troops, seek to pressure Pakistan, and enlist India's support to improve the security situation in Afghanistan, where the US has been at war for about 16 years. "The American people are weary of war without victory ... nowhere is this more evident than the war in Afghanistan," Trump said during a 21 August primetime address. "My original instinct was to pull out [of Afghanistan], and historically I like following my instinct."
