US President Donald Trump wants to begin withdrawing troops from Afghanistan before the 2020 election, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday.
Pompeo was asked during an event at the Economic Club of Washington if he expected to see a drawdown before November next year, and he answered: “That’s my directive from the president of the United States.”
“He’s been unambiguous: end the endless wars, draw down,” said Pompeo.
