WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Saturday he canceled a secret weekend meeting at Camp David with Taliban and Afghanistan leaders after a bombing this week in Kabul that killed 11 people, including an American soldier, and has called off peace negotiations with the insurgent group.
"Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday," Trump tweeted Saturday evening. On Thursday, a Taliban car bomb exploded and killed an American soldier, a Romanian service member and 10 civilians in a busy diplomatic area near the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. The bombing was one of many attacks by the Taliban in recent days during U.S.-Taliban talks.
"What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position? They didn't, they only made it worse!" Trump tweeted."If they cannot agree to a ceasefire during these very important peace talks, and would even kill 12 innocent people, then they probably don't have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight?"Story continuesThe U.S.
I'm 78 years old, and a Korean Defence/Vietnam era USN aircrew/3rd Army veteran. This trick belongs in the idiot file!!!
First, Putin, Kim Jong Un, and now the Talibans? We don't associate nor negotiate with terrorists...unless you are Trump.
Peace? Peace!!! Just get our servicemen and women OUT, Sir! They've 2000 years to answer for...it can't be done on the watches of the Americans.
I think Trump meant to say he was meeting Space Monkeys from the Andromeda Galaxy at Camp David That would be far more plausible
Lies, Lies, nothing but Lies.
Oh I do not think so why do you people make up such lies
It probably never existed in the first place. He LIES.....ALL THE TIME!!!!!
Only he knew it was a secret!!

Trump says he canceled secret Camp David meetings with Taliban leaders, Afghan president"They were coming to the United States tonight," Trump tweeted. Did he just realize the date? Why? Did he change their plane reservations with his Sharpie? Oh snap...they probably wouldn’t agree to Trump’s precondition of a stop in Duneberry to fill up the jet and grab some shut eye. Who’d have thought that the Afghans could ever show more will power than our Military Brass. It’s an upside down world.
