Trump vows to hit Taliban 'harder' than ever as US marks 9/11

President Donald Trump pledged to hit the Taliban "harder" than ever as America on Wednesday marked the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that led the country into war in Afghanistan. Trump's remarks came after he aborted what would have been a historic Afghanistan peace summit, and as relatives remembered the victims of the deadliest terror attacks on US soil at ceremonies in New York and Washington. Trump spoke at a Pentagon event honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed in the attacks -- announcing an unprecedented escalation of the military assault on the Taliban.
