WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said Sunday he’s ready to sign a peace deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan if a temporary truce holds in America’s longest war. We’re tough people,“ Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a trip to India. U.S. officials have noted the possibility that “spoilers” uninterested in peace talks could disrupt the truce. On Sunday, Trump expressed cautious optimism about reaching a peace deal. But people want to make a deal, and I think the Taliban wants to make a deal too, they’re tired of fighting.’’There are more than 12,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
