Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said Tuesday the
United States should clarify remarks President
Donald Trump made about
Afghanistan, including a claim he could easily win the war but didn't "want to kill 10 million people".
Trump made several controversial statements a day earlier alongside Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan at the
White House, including that he could end the war in a matter of days but "Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the Earth".
The war-weary and traumatised population is already worried about a precipitous pull-out of US forces -- after nearly 18 years -- and whether that means a quick return to rule by the Islamic extremist
Taliban, and civil war.
