Photo: AFPUS President Donald Trump will soon have to decide what to do about Afghanistan. According to administration officials familiar with the deliberations of the cabinet’s principals committee, the proposed Afghanistan strategy would tie the US to the success of President Ashraf Ghani’s ambitious plan to build an inclusive government and regain territory from the Taliban. The new strategy, according to these officials, is not cheap. Still, an American recommitment to Afghanistan now can avoid a repeat of past mistakes. If Trump agrees, he will soon find himself rebuilding Afghanistan to keep America safe.
