(Amman, Jordan) — President Trump now has a strategy for Afghanistan. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis today told reporters on the way to Jordan that the President went through a — quote — “significantly rigorous” review process before deciding on the U.S. strategy. Mattis did not provide more detailed information. He said the President wanted to announce the new strategy, but didn’t say when. Bloody fighting in Afghanistan has continued since the U.S. overthrew a Taliban government more than 15 years ago.
