Trump: U.S. intelligence doubted Russia urged Taliban to kill U.S. troops | Reuters

News outlets published that Russia has been influencing the Taliban to kill U.S troops. On Wednesday Trump came out and stated that these claims are unfounded. The New York times claimed that Trump was briefed on this, however according to a source the CIA did not verbally report this to him because they were not too sure of how true it was. Both Russia and the Taliban have denied these claims.
