Since 9 11 and we found out that secret peace talks were planned at camp david with the group accused of causing those attacks. President trump cancelling the talks. The president saying, quote, they probably dont have the power to negotiate a meaningful agreement anyway. How many more decades are they willing to fight . Mike pompeo defended the president s decision and his original invitation. If youre going to negotiate peace, you have to deal with bad actors. I know the history, too, at camp david. President trump reflected on that. We all considered as we were debating how to get to the right ultimate outcome. The invitation angered many lawmakers, including some republicans. As we head into the anniversary of 9 11, i dont want to see the terrorists step foot on United States soil, period. Nothing wrong with the negotiation. But the president should not be negotiating with these really evil people. We cant forget what they did and we cant forget what they continue to do. Liz cheney

Political reports members of the military were staying at the president s turnberry report in scotland while refueling at a nearby airport. The president took to twitter this morning to deny any wrongdoing, congratulating the air force for the, quote, good taste required to choose his property.

Meeting and called off peace negotiations. What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position . The president is referencing a car bombing in kabul that killed Sergeant First Class ellis angel ortiz. Ortiz was the 16th u. S. Service member to die in afghanistan this year. His body arriving at dover, delaware, last night. And today on cnn, u. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo defending the president s decision to invite members of the taliban onto u. S. Soil and the president s ultimate decision to cancel the meeting. Weve been working on this for awhile. And it was the case when the taliban tried to gain negotiating advantage by conducting terror attacks inside of the country, he made the right decision to say that is not going to work. Its not right, its not appropriate to kill an american. It made no sense for the taliban to be rewarded for that bad behavior. All right. Cnns Boris Sanchez is covering these developments.

We made Real Progress but in the end the taliban overreached. It doesnt make sense to me. Another example of the president treating Foreign Policy like it is some kind of game show. This isnt a game show. These are terrorists. Ive been concerned we were negotiating with the taliban and not including the Afghan Government in that. And even the idea that you could negotiate with the taliban, the problems with that have been very evident. I would say that all wars eventually come to an end and i salute efforts to try to end that war no doubt. Bill Benjamin Hall picks it up there from london today. Hello. Hi, bill.
