Trump Speaks with US Troops in Afghanistan
“I am with you all the way, we are going to do it together,” Trump told the U.S. armed forces stationed in Afghanistan, “the courage that you show is incredible.”
The new U.S. President said that they are the best people and they should keep their hard-work until winning the fight in Afghanistan.
“We are with you a thousand percents; obviously, we will send a group to visit you. You are the best people,” he stated.
President Trump talked to six servicemen in Afghanistan. He invited them to ask questions, but instead they congratulated him on assuming the position of head of state and commander-in-chief.
“I am a member of the advisory team, I congratulate you on behalf of all soldiers in Afghanistan,” said Robert, an American soldier in Afghanistan.
Trump expressed his love toward American troops and promised to continue supporting them in the fight against terrorism in Afghanistan.
“I want to tell you that I will be with you all the way, we will start winning again, winning like never before,” he told the troops.
Currently, some 13,000 personnel from the 39 NATO member states and partner countries are stationed in Afghanistan in the form of train, assist and advise mission called the Resolute Support (RS), where about 8,400 American troops conduct advising missions, as well as counter terrorism operations against groups like Islamic State and Al Qaeda.
