Pelosi and congressional delegation make unannounced trip to Afghanistan in outreach to allies after Trump's decision on Syria


The stop was part of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) overseas trip that included a stop in Jordan, where the bipartisan group of lawmakers met with King Abdullah II and senior Jordanian officials Saturday night. Pelosi has been critical of President Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. forces from northern Syria, leaving Kurdish allies without American support to counter the Turkish military.

Pelosi's trip to Afghanistan was her first since she was elected speaker in January. She had planned to lead a delegation then, but that trip was abandoned in a fight with Trump over the timing of his State of the Union address during a government shutdown.

Is this some kind of reassurance / damage control situation?

I think she's just tying to set President Game Show host off.
It might certainly have that effect......as it does not take much to set him off. He might even accuse her of interfering....... and /or intruding on what he considers HIS job. .....the job he should be dong instead of watching his favorite TV channel..........and Tweeting.

How come no pictures of cheering crowds like when Trump visited Iraq?

Cleverly hidden in the first sentence:
"Pelosi and congressional delegation make unannounced trip to Afghanistan..."

Same thing apples to apples

Trump makes unannounced trip to Iraq, visits US troops in harm's way

And it was a headline not hidden in the first sentence

So my question still stands where are the cheering crowds of troops?
Were they wearing Make America Democrat Again hats?
