US President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to Afghanistan on Thursday to inspect US troops there and have a Thanksgiving dinner with soldiers.
The trip, his first to Afghanistan, comes about a year after a surprise visit to troops stationed in Iraq, the first to the combat zone since taking office.
"There is nowhere else I would like to salute this Thanksgiving instead of here, with the strongest, most powerful, the best and the most courageous warriors on earth," Trump told his troops on his first trip to Afghanistan.
Trump joked that he sat down and started eating mashed potatoes, but was summoned before he tasted turkeys.
"I should have started with turkey instead of mashed potatoes, I made a mistake," he said.
"But I hope everyone enjoyed a great meal. It certainly looked good and I hope everyone can get the rest they deserve this holiday."
