Donald Trump to fire US General in Afghanistan for losing Afghan war
Shares
Seeking a more aggressive stance in Afghanistan, President Donald Trump reportedly vowed a radical reshuffle of his national security team, including firing a general who has been in charge of US troops in the war-torn country for over 16 years.
Details have emerged of a tense meeting with top military officials in mid-July, when Trump repeatedly voiced frustration over the current strategy in Afghanistan, where the US has been bogged down in war for 16 years.
The US must consider new, more assertive ways of winning the war, Trump maintained, according to an NBC report.
