Trump Still Hasn't Spoken to Top General in Afghanistan

President Trump has yet to speak with the U.S. general in command of forces in Afghanistan, despite approving a new military strategy earlier this year that committed more troops and funding for America’s longest war.

"I haven't spoken with him,” Gen. John W. Nicholson Jr., U.S. commander in Afghanistan, told reporters Nov. 8 in Brussels.

The lack of contact between the commander-in-chief and the top military official in Afghanistan is unusual.
