‘Nato won’t let Afghanistan become haven for terrorists’
BRUSSELS: Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg on Tuesday welcomed US President Donald Trump’s plan to send additional troops to Afghanistan, saying the alliance would not let the country become a haven for terrorists.
"Our aim remains to ensure that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists who would attack our own countries," he said in a statement. "I welcome President Trump’s new, conditions-based approach to Afghanistan and the region," Stoltenberg added, noting that Nato has over 12,000 soldiers stationed in the country.
Donald Trump on Monday cleared the way for the deployment of thousands more US troops to Afghanistan, backtracking from his promise to swiftly end America’s longest war, begun after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.
