The US says a seven-day reduction in violence has been negotiated with the Taliban in Afghanistan, with the aim of a signed peace deal by February 29

A seven-day reduction in violence in Afghanistan, negotiated by the US and the Taliban, is set to begin Friday night local time, the US State Department announced.

"After decades of conflict, we have come to an understanding with the Taliban on a significant reduction in violence across Afghanistan. This is an important step on a long road to peace, and I call on all Afghans to seize this opportunity," Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted Friday morning. The US is aiming for a peace deal to help execute President Donald Trump's desire to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan.

WE'RE GONNA WAIT TILL VOTING DAY THEN WE REACT .

Rename to CNN breaking fake news.

In other news. McDonald’s has brokered a deal with Hannibal lechter to taste test only their burgers. What could go wrong

Yes. Best deal ever. Somewhere in their cave they laugh at America and our idiot leader. I remember hitler making deals too. Because nothjng scAres psychotic killers like a binding agreement. Lol.

Won't happen not REALLY! Just a fake action for Trumps reelection campaign. Let's come back to this in 2021 and see what's up.

L

A reduction in violence Then sign a peace deal ? How much violence is a reduction in violence ? We only bombed you once this week okay now sign the deal .

Well you can always trust people like the Taliban. They oppose violence well...as much as the states do ;)

B,b,b,but we’ve been told incessantly by the hysterical Dems & media hacks that Trump would be starting & continuing wars everywhere. This surely must be “fake news,” right?

Do you mean we don’t have to bribe don’t like Obama did?

7 days to make a deal.. and afterwards

Lmao. Peace where in Afghanistan? 👀 Definitely not BAGRAM with all the incoming we’ve been having 😂😂 peacetreaty peacedeal CNN

Why does he act like an arbitrator? First watch your own shit and try and figure things together

Really? Breaking News? A 7 day truce with Taliban? The 1 Breaking News is Russia trying to elect Trump in 2020, again. DNI replaced for allowing it to be told to Congress. Breaking News. Trump deflects away from his cheating and conspiring with Russia and TV falls for it.

Damn people come up with something that's not yesterday's news!

Good stuff 🤣🤣🤣

There’ll never be peace 😢

Why are we even negotiating with the TALIBAN. After they mercilessly slaughtered american troops because they 'Hate America'

I know this is difficult for you, CNN, but try to follow me here: US good, Taliban bad

So we will do a deal (that won't work btw) with a terrorist Organization but wont continue to honor a deal with our allies (The Kurds) AND ALLOW them to be SLAUGHTERED.... Nice. Welcome to America!

Lol... Cause the Taliban will totally honor this...

Negotiating a temporary reduction in violence just seems weird to me. You can try to kill people next week...just not too many. I guess when you’re dealing with the Taliban, that’s better than nothing.

One more time, if Obama did this, oh never mind

What did Trump give them? He does nothing for Americans. What is HE gettin

The US never negotiates with terrorists.

A 'reduction' in violence !! Whatvthe hell kind of peace agreement is that?! Stinks like Vietnam....

🤔 Hmm, they've lied so many times before and for little things. So naturally..... YES, I believe it! /s

I’ll wait for the truth, as this is just repeating what someone from this administration said, and I’ve learned, based on the so-called renegotiated trade deal with China, we are often lied to

Translated into 'street' it means: 'we're not winning so...'

Earlier the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the talks had achieved ' a pretty important breakthrough'.

What a Joke.

The Pentagon Chief said if the process goes forward there would be continuous evaluation of any violence.

Mark Esper did not say when the partial truce would begin.

realDonaldTrump This is you surrendering to terrorists. Another foreign policy disaster, courtesy of the IdiotInChief.

More lies deceit and fake news

CNN repeats whatever this administration says as if it is the truth then acts surprised (or ignores completely) each time it turns out to be a lie.

😂😅😂. How'd that work out LAST time for Trump?

It sounds like Trump is trying to keep up with the Homeland plot.

'Reduction in violence' What happened to'The USA Does Not Negotiate with Terrorist'? Actual terrorists are being shielded and protected by the US, yet they sanction the likes of Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and the rest who are minding their business, because of what? SMH

India built a wall ahead of Trump’s visit that some say is meant to ‘hide poor people’

Hopefully the people of Afghanistan will finally have peace.

US exit from Afghanistan without proper security and strategic planning for future shall mark black spot on the US' capability. Taliban fighters may hijack what extensive achievements AFG made in the past 18 Yrs. Women Empowerment could be challenged through ISI. No to US EXIT

Well, that is amazing! This is great news! Our fearless leader has brokered a deal with the most reliable people! Next this administration will broker the same deal with isis. Totally trustworthy people.

Good job, Pres Trump!!!

weakestSecofStateever secPompeo is all 'swagger,' no substance. Just trying to get the weakestPresidentever re-elected, without actually achieving anything. SAD!

Can y'all use the same effort in the violet communities here?

But.. I thought we had defeated the Taliban? Twice in the past 3 years?

Negotiating with the Taliban...funny stuff

They let them have a few stories in nytimes and in return they promised to stop wildin for the week

What are we still doing there while Flint Michigan still have lead pipes. I am pretty sure we can use that money here.

We dont want to fight we just want to force them to grow our opium

Bullshit

Yeah right.

More bullshit from Trumpistan- don’t believe it!

Good news for Afghanistan good news for peace lovers

Pompeo also thinks Belarus and Bangladesh are the same place so

Trump will sign literally anything if he thinks it will get him the Nobel.
