U.S. Strikes Taliban Just Days After Peace Deal

“The United States conducted an airstrike against Taliban fighters in southern Afghanistan Wednesday just days after the two sides signed a peace deal,” the Washington Post reports.

“The strike comes just hours after President Trump spoke to senior Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar by phone Tuesday. Trump said he had ‘a very good talk’ with the militant’s senior political leader and said the two men agreed on ‘no violence, we don’t want violence.'”
