President Donald Trump is returning to the US after an unannounced trip to Afghanistan, his first visit to the site of America’s longest war.
Trump took off early Friday from Bagram Air Field after several hours with the troops and a brief meeting with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
Trump says the U.S. and the Taliban have been engaged in ongoing peace talks and he thinks the Taliban want to make a deal.
Trump abruptly broke off peace talks with the Taliban in September, cancelling a secret meeting with at Camp David after a bombing in Kabul that killed 12 people, including an American soldier. It was not immediately clear how long or substantive the U.S. reengagement with the Taliban has been.
