President Trump made a surprise Thanksgiving Day trip to Afghanistan to visit with US troops at Bagram Air Field and to meet with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. The commander in chief was warmly received by troops as he served them turkey, sat at a dinner table with them, posed for photographs and gave a speech thanking them for their service.
