Trump’s National Security Adviser says troops will not return to Afghanistan
The national security adviser of Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, says that in the future administration of the United States, American forces will not return to Afghanistan.
Michael Waltz said that America does not want to go back to Kandahar and fight, but it cannot wait for another attack on the United States.
The Washington Post wrote in a report that Afghanistan is very important to Michael Waltz.
The Islamic Emirate meanwhile has repeatedly emphasized that with the withdrawal of America and NATO from Afghanistan, the country has become completely safe and does not perceive any threat from it to the region and the world.
In an article this week, the Washington Post looked at Waltz’s past comments and opinions on Afghanistan.
According to the Post, Trump’s national security advisor believes the new American government will pay a lot of attention to Afghanistan and intensify the fight against terrorist threats.
Waltz said “the Trump administration will take a close look at the intelligence community and counter-terrorism efforts, and that America’s eyes and ears are open so that we are not surprised by that part of the world again.”
He added: “I do not interpret this to mean going back to Kandahar and fighting there again. I interpret this position to mean that we cannot wait for Kansas City to be attacked.”
The Washington Post wrote that this American veteran has however warned that threats from Afghanistan to America’s national security are emerging and that the United States will one day be forced to send troops there.
However, the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly considered such statements to be far from reality and has said that no individual or group in the country is allowed to engage in terrorist activities.
Waltz reportedly opposed the complete withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan but has recently refused to specify how the US policies towards Afghanistan will change in the Trump era, although he did emphasize that the US must improve its ability to collect information from inside Afghanistan.
