Was Trump's visit to Afghanistan just another distraction? Do we believe that he "restarted negotiations"?

Trump took a ride to Afghanistan yesterday to visit the US troops there. Good for him – it was three years in coming.

He also said that he “restarted negotiations with the Taliban” – of course, he unilaterally broke the negotiations a couple months ago, so he is simply fixing what he broke.

Here’s my question:

How much can we believe? If he says he restarted negotiations, is that for real? When will they sit down and talk? Is this a PR statement for the news, or is there something more to it?

I hate to be so cynical, but Trump foreign policy announcements tend to fall apart under scrutiny.

What does Trump’s statement really mean?
