While Russia funded the Taliban to kill American soldiers. According to this report:
"The news that Russia was paying Taliban militia a bounty to kill American soldiers
was shocking. The idea that Donald Trump had known about it for a
matter of months and not only failed to take action, but pressured the
G7 to readmit Russia was even more so. But since that initial story
broke, the date of Trump’s knowledge keeps moving back and the extent of
Trump’s actions in support of Vladimir Putin keeps getting underlined.
Trump wasn’t just briefed in February, he was given a personal briefing by John Bolton over a year ago.
Even with that knowledge, Trump has repeatedly supported Russia and
made an unprecedented series of private, unrecorded calls to Putin—at
least five just in the last few months.
"But now it seems that even Trump’s briefing in 2019 was very late in the game. Just Security is
reporting that Pentagon officials became aware of Russian efforts to
fund the Taliban two years earlier, in 2017. This transfer of funds
helped not just to fund attacks on individual U.S. troops, but to
disrupt attempts to secure a lasting peace agreement. Through it all,
Trump took no action. Actually, that’s not true—through it all, Trump
insisted that the Pentagon share information with the people who were
behind the murder of U.S. troops. And that action gave Putin and the
Kremlin a very good picture of Trump: A weak man who was in their
pocket."
