Trump Greets Military at Pentagon

(20 Jul 2017) President Donald Trump shook hands with members of the military as he arrived at the Pentagon for a meeting on national security on Thursday.
Trump is focusing on the fight against the Islamic State group in Afghanistan during this visit to the defense department.
When asked about the visit, the President said "the meeting was great, a very good meeting."
The president didn't address an anticipated spike in troop levels in Afghanistan, telling reporters, "you'll be hearing."
The Trump administration hopes to address weaknesses in Afghan forces with a new strategy and the infusion of several thousand American forces.
There are now about 8,400 there.
The additional U.S. troops are expected to bolster the Afghan forces in critical areas so they can eventually take greater control over the security of their own nation.
The Taliban have slowly resurged, following the decision to end the combat role of U.S. and international forces at the end of 2014.
