President Donald Trump “is preparing to announce a long-anticipated drawdown of about 4,000 troops from Afghanistan” according to White House sources who spoke to CNN, the network reported Sunday morning.
The Trump Administration has been preparing to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, sparking what the Administration hopes is the beginning of the end of the nearly two-decade-long Afghan war — the single longest foreign conflict in American history. President Trump, himself, was an outspoken critic of the war before he took office, but has waffled on whether or not to pull American troops from the region, fearing what might happen without the U.S. military providing a measure of control to a shaky Afghan government.
