"I'm sending General McMaster to Afghanistan to find out how we can make progress alongside our Afghan partners and NATO allies," Trump told reporters yesterday at a joint White House news conference with the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
However, the White House refused to give any further details of McMaster's travel to Afghanistan or any other country in the region.
"I can't comment on any potential travel at this time," a senior administration official said.
"Our mission in Afghanistan is a major contribution to the fight against international terrorism," Stoltenberg told reporters.
McMaster's trip to Afghanistan would be the first high level visit of a top Trump Administration official to the war-torn nation.
