Afghan policy may have role for India
The president will provide an update on the path forward for America's engagement in Afghanistan and South Asia, White House said.
Washington: President Donald Trump will announce America’s new strategy in Afghanistan on Tuesday, amid reports that his administration could be mulling a role for India in ending the brutal and costly conflict, the US' longest war.
Mr Trump will make his first prime-time broadcast to the nation as president at 9 pm (6:30 am IST, Tuesday) to unveil his new plan after a lengthy period of deliberations to end nearly 16 years long war in Afghanistan.
The president will “provide an update on the path forward for America’s engagement in Afghanistan and South Asia,” White House said.
While Obama’s policy focused primarily on Afghanistan and Paki-stan, reports said the Trump administration looked into possibilities for a role for India during its review.
