President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday night that he called off a secret peace meeting between leaders of the Taliban and the President of Afghanistan at Camp David.
The president said that he immediately canceled the meeting and called off peace negotiations between the two groups after the Taliban claimed responsibility for an attack in Kabul that killed 12 people, including one American soldier.
Trump tweeted, “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. They were coming to the United States tonight.”

He added, “Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers, and 11 other people.”
….only made it worse! 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?

Trump said he “immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations.” He continued, “What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position? They didn’t, they only made it worse! 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.”
The president ended the thread by asking, “How many more decades are they willing to fight?”
