"President Trump is slashing aid to Afghanistan in response to a deadlock over the results of the most recent presidential election, which threatens to blow up an historic deal with the Taliban.

“The United States is disappointed in them and what their conduct means for Afghanistan and our shared interests,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday, in reference to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and his rival, former Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah.

Ghani was declared the winner of Afghanistan’s presidential election in December, but the campaign was postponed repeatedly, and Abdullah refused to concede defeat. Pompeo attempted to negotiate a breakthrough in an abrupt visit to Kabul on Monday, but the two Afghan leaders remained at odds, prompting a $1 billion cut in U.S. aid, with more to come if the problem lingers...."

In Iraq and Afghanistan we've been stuck with bad local partners in government.

Send it to the border!

We should have bombed the crap out of the Taliban since they were involved with 9/11, but Trump wanted to deal with terrorists.

Give them no money anymo'. Let them kill themselves until no one is there to fight. Their 3rd world country is NOT OUR problem AT ALL. Like we do with our kids, it's time to cut the apron strings and let them figure out their own destinies. Bring our troops home NOW. It was a wasted endeavor unfortunately many of our brave soldiers had to die for those ingrates.

How about 0.0 dollars to anywhere but America

I give it 15 months until the Taliban are in full control and it's again a safe haven and base for Salafi terrorists.
