President Trump said Monday he could end the Afghanistan war “in a week,” but that doing so would cause millions of deaths. “I could win that war in a week. I just don’t want to kill 10 million people,” Trump said during a White House meeting with Pakistan’s prime minister, Imran Khan.
The president added that Afghanistan would be “wiped off the face of the earth” in 10 days if he chose to bring a quick end to the nation’s longest war, which he called “ridiculous” and has helped turn the U.S. into the world’s “policemen.” “I don’t want to go that route,” Trump said.

Trump said US troops in Afghanistan are acting like “policemen,” “not soldiers.” He said, “If we wanted to be soldiers, it would be over in 10 days…But I have not chosen that. Why would we kill millions of people? It wouldn’t be fair. In terms of humanity, it wouldn’t be fair.”

Trump added later, “We could do a number the likes of which they’ve never seen before, and win it very quickly. I don’t want to do that, I don’t want to do that. Because you’re talking about millions of people, and I don’t want to do that.”
