McConnell Criticizes President Trump’s Plans to Withdraw U.S. Troops from Afghanistan

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is speaking out against President Trump’s plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

The Kentucky Republican says the consequences of “a premature American exit” would likely be worse than President Obama’s withdrawal from Iraq back in 2011.

NBC News expects an order from President Trump, to cut the number of troops in Afghanistan down to 25-hundred, will come in a matter of days.
