Abstract

The war between the US and the Taliban began after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. President Bush immediately sent US military troops to Afghanistan to capture the leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group, Osama bin Laden. It is known that President Obama was sheltered by the Taliban in Afghanistan. During the Obama’s administration, bin Laden was successfully killed in 2011. The war between the US and the Taliban will continue until President Trump’s leadership. He considers that the goals of this war have been realized, targeting Al-Qaida leaders and that nothing is profitable for the US in continuing the war. According to Trump’s thinking, in 2020 there will be a peace agreement between the US and the Taliban. To answer this fact, this article will use constructivist theory to explain the construction of Bush's thoughts, the result of which is the United States' political policy towards the war in Afghanistan. Therefore, this journal will discuss the construction of Trump’s thoughts on ending the long war between the US and the Taliban. So that this paper can see how Trump's thought construction can end the war and what the real impact is for the US. From this, it can be concluded that the result of Trump’s thought construction is to protect US citizens and interests in the economic and military fields.

Abstract

This study aims to find out and analyze how the thought construction of the president of the United States can influence policies on eradicating terrorism and the war between the US and the Taliban that has been going on for 20 years. The US government began to focus more on terrorism after September 11, 2001, or the so-called 9/11 tragedy, which caused the two symbols of the United States, the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon, to become targets for attacks by Al-Qaeda. The leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, is known to be hiding in Afghanistan, the territory of the Taliban. The US considered the Taliban to be protecting Osama, so it immediately sent military troops to Afghanistan, and war broke out between the US and the Taliban. During these two decades, the United States has been led by four presidents with different constructions of thought in providing policies, particularly on the issues of terrorism and the war in Afghanistan. Based on this, the authors analyze the thought construction of each president to see the impact of the US Presidential Policy in fighting terrorism and the war between US and Taliban in Afghanistan
