唐纳德·特朗普总统在感恩节出人意料地访问了美国驻阿富汗部队，并表示他已经重新与塔利班展开谈判。

“塔利班想要达成协议，”总统在他第一次访问阿富汗时说，纽约时报 报道。他在当地时间晚上8点30分后不久抵达该地点，并花了大约两个半小时问候军队和该国总统。

除了在巴格拉姆空军基地为部队提供传统感恩节食物，特朗普还会见了阿富汗总统阿什拉夫·加尼。据报道，特朗普和白宫代理参谋长米克·马尔瓦尼、国家安全顾问罗伯特·奥布赖恩以及怀俄明州参议员约翰·巴拉索一起出席了会议小山。

特朗普在演讲中谈到塔利班时说:“我们将看看他们是否达成协议。如果有，就有，如果没有，就没有。那很好，”他说。

“现在他们确实想达成停火，”总统还表示。"我相信事情可能会这样发展。"

特朗普在两个多月前结束了与塔利班的谈判，此前塔利班在喀布尔发动爆炸，造成一名美国士兵和11人死亡。

当地时间午夜刚过，总统和他的政党离开了阿富汗，美联社报道。

在阿富汗之行的消息传出之前，总统周四早上发了一条推特祝美国人感恩节快乐:

——唐纳德·特朗普2019年11月28日

周二下午，总统和第一夫人梅兰妮·特朗普离开华盛顿前往拉各斯度假。那天晚上，特朗普在佛罗里达州日出镇(Sunrise)举行了一场竞选集会，离他的度假胜地西南约50英里，他在集会上声称有人想改变感恩节的名字。他的声明引起了推特上的# WaronThanksgiving趋势。

特朗普宣布2019年11月28日为“感恩节”，以“鼓励所有美国人聚集在家里和礼拜场所，为我们的众多祝福向上帝祈祷。”

他在感恩节前夜，从上午中旬到下午中旬，在特朗普国际高尔夫俱乐部打高尔夫。根据他的公开时间表，这是不对媒体开放的。

去年感恩节，在与来自马拉加的武装部队成员通话后，特朗普会见了媒体，并表示他感谢“一个伟大的家庭，感谢他为这个国家做出了巨大的贡献，”他补充说，美国“现在比我上任时强大得多，你不会相信。”

特朗普还在马拉加度过了2017年感恩节，这是他第一次担任总统。他以一条推文开始，吹捧他认为自己的成就:“感恩节快乐，你的国家开始做得很好。就业机会回来了，有史以来最高的股票市场，军队变得非常强大，我们将建造长城，退伍军人管理局照顾我们的老兵，伟大的最高法院大法官，REGS的记录削减，17年来最低的失业率....！”

总统打电话给军事人员，并在谈话中声称最近在打击伊斯兰国的战斗中取得了胜利。

HOW DID TRUMP SPEND THANKSGIVING? TWEETING, GOLFING—AND SURPRISING U.S. TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN

President Donald Trump made a surprise trip to visit U.S. troops in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving Day and said he had reopened negotiations with the Taliban.

"The Taliban wants to make a deal," the president said during his first-ever visit to Afghanistan, The New York Times reported. He arrived at the location shortly after 8.30 p.m. local time and spent roughly two-and-a-half hours greeting troops and the country's president.

In addition to serving traditional Thanksgiving food for the troops at the Bagram airbase, Trump also met with Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani. Trump was joined by acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien, and Wyoming Senator John Barrasso, according to The Hill.

In his speech, Trump said of the Taliban: "We'll see if they make a deal. If they do, they do, and if they don't, they don't. That's fine," he said.

"Now they do want to do a cease-fire," the president also stated. "I believe it'll probably work out that way."

Trump had ended negotiations with the Taliban over two months ago, after a Taliban bombing in Kabul that killed an American soldier and 11 others.

The president and his party left Afghanistan a little bit after midnight local time, The Associated Press reported.

Before the news of the Afghanistan visit broke, the president sent out a tweet wishing Americans a happy Thanksgiving holiday Thursday morning:

The president and first lady Melania Trump departed from Washington D.C. for the holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday afternoon. Trump held a campaign rally that evening in Sunrise, Florida, which is about 50 miles southwest of his resort, in which he claimed that there are people who want to change the name of Thanksgiving. His claim caused #WaronThanksgiving to trend on Twitter.

Trump proclaimed November 28, 2019, "as a National Day of Thanksgiving" to "encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings."

He spent Thanksgiving Eve, from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, playing golf at his Trump International Golf Club. It was closed to the press, according to his public schedule.

Last Thanksgiving, after a call with armed service members from Mar-a-Lago, Trump met with the press and said he was thankful for a "great family and for having made a tremendous difference in this country," adding that the United States "is so much stronger now than it was when I took office that you wouldn't believe it."

Trump also spent Thanksgiving 2017, his first as president, at Mar-a-Lago. He began with a tweet touting what he considered his accomplishments: "HAPPY THANKSGIVING, your Country is starting to do really well. Jobs coming back, highest Stock Market EVER, Military getting really strong, we will build the WALL, V.A. taking care of our Vets, great Supreme Court Justice, RECORD CUT IN REGS, lowest unemployment in 17 years....!"

The president called military personnel and during the conversation, claimed credit for recent victories in fighting ISIS.
