Trump: 'Fight to win' in Afghanistan

President Trump said a hasty US withdrawal would leave a vacuum for terrorists to fill.

President Donald Trump has said a hasty US withdrawal from Afghanistan would leave a vacuum for terrorists to fill. He said his original instinct was to pull US forces out, but he had instead decided to stay and "fight to win" - avoiding the mistakes made in Iraq. Also, India's supreme court will rule on whether the Islamic practice of instant divorce violates the rights of Muslim women, and the US is wowed by the total solar eclipse.
