U.S. And Taliban Reach Afghanistan Peace Deal 'In Principle'

The transcript discusses a potential peace agreement to end America's longest war in Afghanistan. U.S. special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad mentioned a deal in principle, pending President Trump's approval. The agreement involves withdrawing 5,000 U.S. troops if the Taliban reduces violence and ensures Afghanistan isn't used for militant attacks. However, the lack of a ceasefire raises concerns about ongoing violence, highlighted by a recent Taliban-claimed bombing in Kabul. The Taliban insists on negotiating from a strong position, while approximately 14,000 U.S. troops remain in Afghanistan.
