The Trump administration officials called on Afghan troops to move from populated areas of the country to avoid attacks in isolated regions.
According to a report published by the New York Times, three U.S. officials familiar with the President Donald Trump’s war strategy, said the move away from sparsely populated areas will help concentrate resources on cities like Kabul.
The Times reported, the strategy is similar to those used under former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
President Trump announced a new strategy last summer that included increasing U.S. forces in Afghanistan by a few thousand, bringing the U.S. troop presence to about 14,000.
