Trump to Meet with Zelenskyy and Leaders of Several Countries; The US May Not Dare to Invade Afghanistan

White House: Trump will meet Zelenskyy, as well as leaders of Argentina and Qatar on September 23. Russian President's Special Representative for Afghanistan Issues: The US may not dare to invade Afghanistan due to the base at Bagram

Sputnik News, New York, September 23. The White House Press Secretary Caroline Levet announced on September 22 that US President Donald Trump will meet with Zelenskyy, as well as leaders of Argentina, Qatar, and the EU during the UN General Assembly.

Levet said in a press conference: "The President will also hold bilateral meetings with the UN Secretary-General and leaders of Ukraine, Argentina, and the EU. Later that day, the President will also have a multilateral meeting with Qatar."

She added that Trump also plans to meet with leaders of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, the UAE, and Jordan.

Sputnik News, Moscow. Russia's Special Representative for Afghanistan Issues, Kablov, told Sputnik that the US may not dare to invade Afghanistan, as the consequences for the US could be very severe.

US President Trump previously threatened that if Afghanistan refuses to hand over the Bagram base to US control, it will face "bad" consequences. According to Trump, he wants Afghanistan to immediately transfer the airbase. Afghan officials responded strongly to Trump's words, with the spokesperson of the Afghan Ministry of Interior, Abdul Matin Kani, calling Trump's statements "absolute hatred and ambition."

Kablov, when answering the question of whether the US would dare to invade Afghanistan, said: "I don't think so. It is similar to the hype about Greenland and Canada. The consequences for the US would be severe, while the Afghans are used to war."

The Deputy Director of the Afghan National Directorate of Intelligence, Jawad, warned on September 20 that "if necessary, the army will resume training suicide bombers to defend their rule." Zaki Jallali, advisor to the Afghan Foreign Minister, commented on Trump's statements, saying that any foreign military presence in Afghanistan is unacceptable.
