Trump: “Other Countries Should Fight”
Trump says India isn't fighting but Pakistan is fighting over the issue to a little extent and its good to hear that!
America is withdrawing from Afghanistan and Trump is not much happy about it. For him, others are not doing as much against Islamic Militant Terrorists as much as USA and Trump himself. On Wednesday, 21st August 2019, Trump said that other countries must also participate in battle against extremist Islamic militant groups as the US has now vacated from Afghanistan.
According to Trump “Look, India’s right there, they are not fighting it, we’re fighting it. Pakistan is next door. They’re fighting it, very little […] it’s not fair. The United States is seven thousand miles away,”. Trump has withdrawn most of his troops from Syria and Iraq and now after Afghanistan, it seems like he has issues trusting the reemergence of the militant groups. Basically the defense thinks that that the gap being created might become a reason for the militants to grow again.
When it comes to Iraq, Trump is quite sure Iraq won’t disappoint. “We wiped out the caliphate 100 percent. I did it in record time. But at a certain point, all of these other countries, where ISIS is around … are going to have to fight them. Because do we want to stay there another 19 years? I don’t think so.” said Trump.
On the other hand, Trump also asked the countries ti take their ISIS fighters back to their country, where they originally belonged to. Trump said that they he wont be keeping them in Guantanamo for the next 50 years and pay for it too. Seems legit.
On the other hand, Iraq is still facing drone attacks from either USA or Israel. Both the countries have been denied by both of the countries.
It is yet to see how long it takes to end ISIS from the roots, and what would it take to do so.
