Trump has been under pressure from the Afghan government, lawmakers and some members of his administration who mistrust the Taliban and think it's too early to withdraw American forces. The administration's diplomat talking to the Taliban leaders for months in recent days said he was on the "threshold" of an agreement with the Taliban aimed at ending America's longest war.

How many more decades are they willing to fight?"The U.S.

Trump lies. He never had a meeting scheduled. It would cut into his golf time.

Not likely
