Trump Grapples With Shifting Nature of Two Overseas Conflicts

The article discusses the shifting nature of two overseas conflicts that President Trump is grappling with. The first is the war in Afghanistan, where the U.S. is negotiating with the Taliban to reach a peace deal and withdraw troops. The second is the conflict with Iran, where tensions have escalated after recent attacks on oil tankers and the downing of a U.S. drone. The article highlights the challenges Trump faces in navigating these complex situations, as he tries to balance his campaign promises to end "endless wars" with the need to maintain U.S. influence and deter adversaries. It notes that the shifting dynamics of these conflicts have forced Trump to adjust his approach, as he seeks to find a way to claim victory and bring troops home without compromising U.S. national security interests. The article also suggests that these overseas conflicts could have significant political implications for Trump as he prepares to run for re-election in 2020.
