US Special Forces Soldier Killed in Afghanistan a Week After Donald Trump Canceled Taliban Peace Talks
By James LaPorta On 9/16/19
The Taliban said more U.S. troops would die in the wake of President Donald Trump canceling a secret Camp David meeting with the militant group to end America's longest war. Monday morning, an American Special Forces soldier was killed in Afghanistan.
The name of the U.S. service member who died is being withheld until 24 hours after their next of kin are notified, per Pentagon policy. The brief statement did not provide any details on the circumstances surrounding the death.
A Pentagon source told Newsweek on condition of anonymity that the Special Forces soldier was wounded by small arms fire while on an operation in the Sayyidabad District of Wardak province, located in the central and eastern regions of Afghanistan. He later died during surgery.
Last week, Trump called off a secret meeting scheduled to take place with Taliban leaders at Camp David, the traditional country getaway of American presidents, located in the wooded hills of Catoctin Mountain Park near Thurmont, Maryland.
