Morale boosting presidential visits to US troops in war zones have been a longstanding tradition in the years following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
India’s massive humanitarian assistance programme in Afghanistan was based on the assumption that American and NATO troops would stay put in the embattled nation till the security situation improves. These troops also provide security cover to various ongoing Indian developmental projects in Afghanistan.
Mattis had offered to stay in the job until February but will now leave on January 1 after Trump reportedly balked at media coverage of his exit.
Mattis will serve until the end of Feb, giving Trump a short window to name a successor who can be confirmed by the Senate.
