US President Donald Trump used a portion of his campaign on Thursday night and said that one option the US had was to bring our troops back home.

Trump argued during free-wheeling remarks in Minneapolis.
He lamented how long US troops had been involved in military conflicts overseas.
“We were supposed to be in Afghanistan for a short period of time. We’re now going to be there for close to 19 years. It’s time to bring them home”, he said.
“It’s time to bring them home, we’ve done our job,” he added.
US lawmakers argued that the move put US national security and its allies at risk.
Donald Trump has previously said that the U.S. plans to reduce the number of American troops in Afghanistan from 14,000 to 8,600 and then will determine further drawdowns.
Trump’s comment came as a U.S. envoy continued talks with the Taliban to try to find a resolution to the nearly 18-year war. The president said the U.S. was “getting close” to making a deal, but that the outcome was uncertain.
Trump did not offer a timeline for withdrawing troops. The Pentagon has been developing plans to withdraw as many as half of the 14,000 U.S. troops still there, but the Taliban want all U.S. and NATO forces withdrawn.
“We’re going down to 8,600 and then we’ll make a determination from there,” Trump said, adding that the U.S. would have a “high intelligence” presence in Afghanistan going forward.
Trump has called Afghanistan — where the Taliban harbored members of the al-Qaida network responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States — the `”Harvard University of terror.”
If terror groups ever attacked America from Afghanistan again, “we will come back with a force like they’ve never seen before,” Trump said. But he added: “I don’t see that happening.”
