The Taliban said the attacks were a message to Trump that his policy of aggression would not work. Another Taliban member said the United States had been approaching states that have relations with the Taliban to try to get them to push the insurgents to the negotiating table. ”President Trump is saying this for public consumption,“ the ‎Taliban member, who declined to be identified, said of Trump’s rejection of talks. The United States believes the Haqqani network, a faction within the Taliban, was behind Saturday’s bomb blast in Kabul. Pakistan denies accusations it fosters the Afghan war, and condemned the recent attacks in Afghanistan.
