WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump will announce his decision on America´s strategy in Afghanistan in an address to US troops and the nation Monday night, almost 16 years after the war began.
The US leader will "provide an update on the path forward for America´s engagement in Afghanistan and South Asia" in an address to be delivered at 9 pm (0100 GMT Tuesday, 6:00 am Tuesday in Pakistan) from the military base at Fort Myer southwest of the capital, the White House said in a statement.
Trump and his national security team met Friday at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland to reach agreement on a strategy. In this connection, Trump tweeted over the weekend that he had made a decision on America's strategy in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who's traveling in Afghanstan on Sunday, also said Trump had reached a decision. Mattis declined to talk specifics before Trump's announcement.
