Trump gets the brownie points while preparing for Blackwater to enter Afghanistan and take over military operations.
No strings attached, no accountability and to be able to secure US interests with even more ease without any further scrutiny.

Just media grandstanding with no substance. He knows it; we know it too.
He gets the votes of the family members of the high-risk troops who will return safely back.
While Afghanistan's minerals and security activities get taken over by a private military corporation.
And Pakistan will be able to do squat against Blackwaters without revealing themselves in front of the international community.
Trump just canceled Pakistan's Eid wish.
Meanwhile India will remain silent and continue to work with Afghanistan's civilian government to build roads, schools, training centres and hospitals for the locals and win their hearts.
And of course, our own consulates with government advisors on different issues.
Meh, he's just asking a rhetorical question.
Pakistanis over the years are under the assumption that US is somehow keeping them off us
.
Once Blackwater takes over, it is bye bye to Pakistan's "non-state actors". While they aren't invincible, BW will have no legal constraint to hit Pakistani sponsored agencies hard or even Pakistani strategic interests. If they face any attack, BW will take off their gloves and dish out the pain to Pakistanis.
It would be interesting to watch a PMC whack their government forces.
