Top 5 Policies Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump Agree On
4. Troops in Afghanistan
In a similar vein, both candidates want to perpetuate this war that has been waged for a decade and a half. President Obama failed to make good on his promise to withdraw troops. Hillary seems like she will continue this ill-advised policy. We very well could end up committing troops in the area for a long time.
Trump would also accept keeping troops in Afghanistan. He is uncomfortable having no check on neighboring Pakistan, and would thus want to keep an active force in the area. Despite some past rhetoric, Trump seems to be far from a foreign policy libertarian.
