We had a lot of meetings yesterday on afghanistan. We have the strongest economy by far in the world. The tariffs have cost nothing, in my opinion, or certainly very little.

They are also pouring money into their country because they dont want to lose jobs. They lost over 2 million jobs in a short period of time. They want to make a deal. We will see what happens. I would like to see hong kong worked out in a humanitarian fashion. Xi can do it. Nt we are looking at afghanistan, we are talking to afghanistan, also talking to the taliban, having very good discussions. We will see what happens.

We are having very good discussions with the taliban and the afghan government.
