United Nations sources have stated that after asserting the United States determination to finish off the Afghan Taliban, President Donald Trump has ruled out for now talks with the organization that has unleashed a wave of carnage on Afghanistan in recent days. He told the members of the UN Security Council at a White House lunch on Monday that "Bombing in the middle of children, in the middle of families bombing, killing all over Afghanistan."
Meanwhile as per the latest round of attacks in Kabul by the Taliban that have claimed at least 125 lives were a direct challenge to Trump, starting days after he had asserted on January 16 that the US troops had made "tremendous strides" in fighting the Islamic State (IS) and the Taliban and that the South Asia policy he had announced last August was "working far more rapidly than anybody would understand."
Further Trump said, "His administration is proud to work with you and
they have already done a tremendous number of coalition building, and the
United Nations Security Council, in particular, is very important to
them".
