US President Donald Trump has shown signs of impatience with the war in Afghanistan, according to a new book written by one of America's top journalists Bob Woodward, a media report said Tuesday.
Titled "Fear: Trump in the White House", the eagerly-awaited 448-page volume is scheduled to hit book stores on September 11 and claims to give an insider's account on the White House working and decision-making process in Trump's presidency.
A report on the book, along with some excerpts, were published by 'The Washington Post' Tuesday.
According to the report, Trump has shown impatience with the Afghanstan war, which is now America's longest war, and in one of the meetings with his top aides accused the military leadership of losing the war.
"At a July 2017 National Security Council meeting, Trump dressed down his generals and other advisers for 25 minutes, complaining that the United States was losing, according to Woodward," the report said.
Trump did not give any interview for this book and when he called Woodward for it, the renowned author had already completed his manuscript.
"The soldiers on the ground could run things much better than you," Trump told them, according to the book.
"They could do a much better job. I don't know what the hell we're doing". He went on to ask, "How many more deaths? How many more lost limbs? How much longer are we going to be there?"
