Many in Washington were shocked and some were angry that the Taliban had been about to visit the presidential retreat on the eve of the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

The announcement followed Trump's dramatic cancellation of a top-secret plan to fly Taliban leaders in for direct talks at the Camp David presidential facility outside Washington.

"Over the last four days, we have been hitting our Enemy harder than at any time in the last ten years!" he wrote in a tweet. Trump angrily denied that the whiplash effect of his sudden shifts on Afghanistan was causing turmoil.Until this weekend, there had been steadily mounting expectations of a deal that would see the US draw down troop levels in Afghanistan.But then on Saturday, Trump revealed that he had cancelled an unprecedented meeting between the Taliban and himself at storied Camp David.
