U.S. President Donald Trump in a top meeting with his national security team on Friday postponed taking decision about the 16-year-old war in Afghanistan.
The high-level meeting was held at Camp David to discuss the Afghanistan war strategy with his high-level aides, but the meeting reached nothing.
High profile security team members including U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Director of CIA Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster had attended the meeting to choose an option regarding Afghanistan war.
Due to the importance of the meeting, U.S. Vice President Pence delayed his trip to South America to attend the meeting and to give a hand in finding a solution to the long-Afghan war.
The meeting ended with no solution while on Friday Mattis had told reporters that they will make a decision.
This is not the first time that officials expected Trump to pick up an option regarding the new U.S.strategy in Afghanistan. In May, prior to the NATO summit in Belgium, Trump was expected to make a decision, but a final decision was not made.
