Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.) on Sunday denounced President Trump for inviting Taliban leaders to Camp David for peace talks just days before the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
“How about we end the war without inviting the Taliban to dinner on the week of 9/11?” Amash, an Independent who left the GOP earlier this year, said on Twitter after Trump announced that he’d canceled secret meetings with leaders of the Taliban and Afghanistan’s president.

Democratic and Republican lawmakers have ripped Trump over the planned meeting, with many expressing dismay over the timing. The 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks is on Wednesday.
“Never should leaders of a terrorist organization that hasn’t renounced 9/11 and continue in evil be allowed in our great country. NEVER. Full stop,” Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) tweeted.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), a 2020 presidential candidate, called it another example of Trump “treating foreign policy like some kind of game show.”
