Trump Ends Taliban Peace Talks after Bombing; Killing US Soldier Shows Taliban against Peace

U.S. President Donald Trump said today (September 8, 2019) he was canceling the peace talks with the Taliban leaders and the President of Afghanistan after a car bombing in Kabul yesterday killed one U.S. soldier and 11 others, according to the Euro News website.

Trump said the leaders were supposed to come to Camp David -- the country retreat of U.S. presidents -- for secret talks today.

The administration had been working on a peace settlement to end a war that has been going on for the past 18 years -- the longest war in American history.

Trump's decision to call off peace talks with the Taliban follows nine rounds of U.S. negotiations with the militant group.
