Rep. Mike Coffman Applauds President's Changes In Afghanistan
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4)- Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman is applauding Pres. Donald Trump's course correction in Afghanistan.
The President promised to do away with timetables and troop numbers.
Rep. Coffman, a Republican representing Aurora and Adams County, is a member of the U.S. Armed Services Committee.
He agrees with Pres. Trump and says America should not be "nation building" in Afghanistan and he says there is no path to a military victory.
Coffman says all sides must come together to govern themselves.
"I think the fact that he signaled in his speech about a negotiated settlement, so on one hand it was a fist but on the other hand it was an olive branch in terms of a negotiated settlement, so they're coming to the negotiation table and mention the possibility of shared governments. I think that that was very significant," said Coffman.
Coffman says not giving the U.S. game plan to the enemy can also play in America's favor.
