'Don't know who is using it': Donald Trump mocks PM Modi over Afghan library

It was unclear to which project Trump was referring, but India has committed $3 billion in assistance to Afghanistan since US-led forces toppled the extremist Taliban regime after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Projects have included the reconstruction of an elite high school in Kabul and scholarships to India for 1,000 Afghan students each year. Inaugurating the Afghan parliament building in 2015 after reconstruction financed by India, Modi promised to promote programs 'empowering Afghan youth with modern education and professional skills.' India has been one of the most enthusiastic countries over the US mission in Afghanistan, where the former Taliban regime sheltered fiercely anti-Indian militants. But India's role has alarmed its arch-rival Pakistan, whose intelligence service's continued ties to extremists in Afghanistan has been seen by analysts in part as a way to counter New Delhi. Trump last month moved to pull all 2,000 US troops out of Syria and cut by half the 14,000-strong force in Afghanistan, calling for less spending overseas. Alluding in Wednesday's remarks to the 1979-1989 Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, Trump said: 'Russia used to be the Soviet Union. Afghanistan made it Russia because they went bankrupt fighting in Afghanistan.' Dailyhunthttps://www.fanfiction.net/u/11494790/
