The US president said this in a meeting with his Afghan counterpart Ashraf Ghani.
"The Taliban wants to make a deal, and we’re meeting with them," Trump said in a meeting with his Afghan counterpart President Ashraf Ghani during his visit at the Bagram Airfield.
Early September, Trump declared that peace talks with the Taliban was 'dead' following a recent attack in Afghanistan's capital Kabul which killed a dozen people, including a US service member. Addressing the US soldiers deployed in Afghanistan for the nation’s longest-running war, Trump thanked them for their service."I'm here to say Happy Thanksgiving and thank you very much. As president of the United States, I have no higher honour than serving as commander-in-chief," he said during his stay at the largest US base in Afghanistan.
