State Dept. Spox: ‘We Are in a Stronger Position’ Because of the President’s Decision to Withdraw from Afghanistan

TRANSCRIPT:

PRICE: "Let me start with this. Many of us here at the Department and across the government, and millions of Americans and Afghans alike, are mindful of today’s meaning as the 20-year-long U.S. military mission in Afghanistan ended nearly one year ago. Ending the longest war in American history was never going to be easy, but one year later we are in a stronger position as a country because of the President’s decision, better able to focus on the threats and challenges, but also the opportunities of today."
