The United States is changing its plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan because of a resurgent Taliban that's seeking to regain territory, President Obama said today before his trip to Poland to attend a NATO summit on Friday.
There are about 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, a number that the administration had planned to decrease to 5,500 by year's end. Now, Obama says that figure will decrease to about 8,400 troops by the end of the year.
