"The US has lost a bit of control when it comes to international policy"

CNN Portugal13 September 2026 at 16:30

CNN Portugal commentator Diana Soller considered "inconsequential" the request made by Donald Trump to the Taliban to return the weapons they had captured when they resumed power in Afghanistan. The analyst commented that the United States "lost a bit of control" regarding international policy. The article does not specify what type of weapons were captured or under what exact circumstances that capture occurred.

Why this matters

Diana Soller's analysis, as a commentator on a Portuguese news channel, offers a European perspective on US foreign policy, which may be relevant for readers in Portugal who follow transatlantic relations. The criticism of Trump's approach to Afghanistan comes in a context of debates about the role of the US in the world and its implications for Western allies.
