Saying the move doesnt mean the u. S. Is backing away from its commitment to finding a political solution to decades of war a negotiated political settlement among afghans is the best path to achieving this outcome. Until there is accomplished we will continue to pursue an aggressive military campaign against the taliban and terrorist groups that continue to conduct violence against the people of afghanistan also in kabul on monday to meet afghan leaders a u. S. Congressional delegation led by House Speaker nancy pelosi reducing the number of foreign troops in afghanistan was the focal point of the recent talks between the u. S. And the taliban but those talks failed after President Trump playing the taliban for a surge in violence.

Good morning, ladies and j gentlemen. Im john allenen, president of brookings. On behalf of the institution and our partners, i want to welcome you all to this important event today. I want to welcome those coming in over the webcast, and, of course, we always welcome the media. This morning, youll be hearing from a distinguished group of leaders and volunteers on the matter of National Service. Let me make a few brief comments to begin with. In such divided and turbulent times, we must look for ways to bridge society. To bridge the divides and to restore a sense of community. In recent years, much has been done, sadly, to burn rather than to build the bridges in our civic nation. Leading to a growing culture of fear and distrust, incivility and a reflex to retreat into the safety of tribalism. Our trust in institutions and our trust in each other has taken a beating and has, in fact, declined, and that decline makes it harder for us to solve some of the key problems we face as a count

To the bureau of urban forestry, i think working with the sfmta to ultimately have a net gain of trees, in this area, by the 53 trees that are planted, it pretty entrepreneurial and a way to Work Together with city agencies to make sure we are doing things and hopefully disrupting this Community Less by having these projects be aligned. At the same time, i think it is incumbent upon us to maintain some trust by ensuring that we hold ourselves to the same standards that we would hold anybody else before this body.
