The new strategy also focuses on accelerating the training of Afghan security forces in order to facilitate withdrawal of U.S. troops.

He said: “The Americans want to know why we go to Afghanistan, and they want to know where our interests.”

The White House believes that the cost of more troops to Afghanistan and costs are too great. Every time a soldier deployed in Afghanistan, the U.S. government will require more than a year to pay one million U.S. dollars. Now the U.S. deficit has reached 1.4 trillion. For Obama, the more troops to Afghanistan would be a political risk-taking behavior.
