Trump asserts he could win Afghanistan war 'in a week' without 'using nuclear'
President Trump on Tuesday reiterated his claim that he could win the Afghanistan war "in a week" while maintaining that such a plan would not involve the use of nuclear weapons. Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters Tuesday afternoon in the Oval Office during a meeting with the Romanian president.
“As I’ve said, and I’ll say it any number of times — and this is not using nuclear — we could win that war in a week if we wanted to fight it, but I’m not looking to kill 10 million people,” Trump said.
“I’m not looking to kill 10 million Afghans, because that’s what would have to happen, and I’m not looking to do that.”
The president did not elaborate on how he would go about bringing a quick end to the conflict in Afghanistan, which has spanned 18 years. Trump has said it’s “ridiculous” that the United States has been in Afghanistan for 18 years.
