Trump to Increase Troops in Afghanistan

August 22, 2017

Trump didn’t say how many more soldiers he wants deployed to the South Asian hotspot to prop up the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) in their fight against the Taliban insurgency. However, observers think 4,000 troops are likely, as this is the figure the Pentagon has asked for.
