U.S. President Barack Obama Makes First Visit to Afghanistan Since Taking Office

U.S. President Barack Obama has arrived in Afghanistan, his first visit to the country since taking office. The visit was not announced and is only expected to last a few hours during which Obama will meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai as well as address U.S. forces at a base.

The meeting between Obama and Karzai will likely focus on the issues of corruption and drug trafficking, two issues the U.S. has pressed the Afghan leader on in the past.

While Karzai has pledged to tackle the issues they still pose a serious problem to the fragile government and have led to much criticism from U.S. officials.

As part of the trip Obama will also meet with Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, to get an “on the ground update” about the nearly decade-long war in the country.

Obama’s last trip to Afghanistan was in 2008 when he campaigning for the presidency as a senator.
