No Signs of Progress in Afghanistan Despite the Addition of More US Forces
A new report to Congress says President Trump's strategy in Afghanistan isn't changing the results on the ground there and details some of the reasons why.
"The Taliban and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria-Khorasan each launched high-profile attacks in Kabul that killed hundreds," the report noted.
"The Taliban continued to hold territory and launched devastating terrorist attacks in Kabul and across the country," it said.
The report also found no "significant" gains in territory by U.S. and Afghan forces, despite the White House strategy's goal to increase the territory under government control to 80 percent from 64 percent through intensified air strikes and ground operations.
