Washington After a week-long "reduction in violence," the US and Taliban have signed a historic agreement Saturday, which would set into motion the drawdown of US troops from Afghanistan and potentially pave the way to ending America's longest-fought war.
The agreement was signed in Doha, Qatar, by US Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Zalmay Khalilzad -- the chief US negotiator in the talks with the Taliban -- and Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar -- the Taliban's chief negotiator. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo witnessed the signing.Speaking at the ceremony, Pompeo said the US"will closely watch the Taliban's compliance with their commitments, and calibrate the pace of our withdrawal to their actions.
Morons
Their Government is involved Good fail though.🙄
Another lie from corrupt Clinton.
What govt in the country We dodged a bullet with her
BidenClinton2020
The United States should leave Afghanistan completely and let them kill each other it’s not our problem we can’t stay forever we have enough troops with missing limbs ENOUGH ALREADY
and her opinion is relevant, how?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shahidmasooddr Sovereign afghan
It's indeed an Afghan sovereign decision. A real commitment has to be proven by Taliban aka Paki army to stop terrorizing Afghans. Otherwise, their terrorist army will be kept in captivity. President Ghani, you are doing a great job!
Pakis are more worried about Taliban themselves. I believe the terrorists prisoners are disguised Paki army.
Perfectly answered by President ashrafghani regarding prerequisite 5000, Taliban prisoners, shouldn't be released, unless direct talks with gov't, as long the calling of Talban 2 Afghan gov't as institutions, Afghan gov't must refuse 2 hold talks & avoid releasing prisoners.
Well when you ask the generals ....what do we do now and they all answer like this.... 😂😂. Time to pack up... trillions of dollars WASTED .... BERNIE2020
Afghan President looks ill, sweating on cnn FareedZakaria right now.
Great! Supporting the president and USA should put aside their election and don’t put Afghanistan into Pakistan’s terrorists
SediqSediqqi pre Ghani is right and Taliban are not trust able today the leader of Talibans Haibatullah announced, to his soldiers we have won and all NATO and America lose we have broken them. so US should think more about this announcement of Taliban
AshFRAUD Ghani is totally delusional to think that he has call the shots just like that. Both Ghani and Karzai have previously released 100s of Taliban prisoners when it benefited them. AfghanPeaceProcess
Ended 18 years of WAR! Thank You President TRUMP! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸 It is time to get out of the Middle East. 🚫CNN🚫
MashalAtif This guy ashrafghani doesn't matter anymore. His power is reduced to a single city now. US and Taliban should work together for a peaceful dialogue to end the conflict. This man is just a stooge, ignore him.
Shahidmasooddr 🤣 Agreement
Do you have a better solution?
In other words, tRump is a really really bad negotiator.
Both side have to be faithful to maintain peace. World citizen want peaceful globe. I would like to salute both U.S. and Taliban to their great dare.
President Trump was able to do something we're others could not do and that is to end the endless wars! Another promise 'kept' by the Trump administration!!😁😁😁👏👏👏💥💥💥💥
Haha ashrafghani sovereign, 😂 tell it to the marine
Anyone who thinks this isn’t a beneficial outcome is an idiot
Do not trust the Taliban . . US forces need to remain in Afghanistan . . at least 10,000 troops . . open ended . . if not then US and NATO will simply have to go back
deeplyfree3 Bravo Trump ! Bad Obama !
Why blame China in the first place?
I wouldn't trust Trump with my ex wife!
Total shit now the taliban will get more weapons than before and US will back on their word as always
CNN: why are you always breaking the news, instead of giving truthful news?
I'm not a smart human but this is a head-scratcher. The Taliban should have absolutely no interest in confirming to a peace deal with the Americans.
Negotiating with terrorists ..now I’ve seen it all ...
good luck trusting the u.s.
America needs to be trialled for their actions.. killing thousands of people and signing peace deal at the end.
So the taliban won, and the US is leaving?
All in the name of November ReElection bid I Me Mine alone did it
Carrie Win
rosemaryCNN As the direct result of that, I anticipate the Taliban-terror to assume newer shapes and move to a different arena! Never forget that Taliban and Al Qaeda are Twin Brothers! This will also free the resources of the ISI (Pak), which they will divert towards India.
Well done president trump. Another war ended. Congratulations. Vote trump in November.
Democrats prefer WAR Over PEACE They would have to give Trump credit for MAGA Brexit cnn amjoy NobelPeacePrize NobelPrize
😂😂😂😂😂😂
How quickly people forget he almost started a nuclear war with Iran less than a year ago. You people really are part of a cult. He could crap on your head and tell you its shampoo and I'd bet my house you would all rinse and repeat. F*cking cowards. Every last one of you.
If the democrats have a complaint against Trump and his draw down of troops in Afganastan, have them offer up their sons and daughters to go there and stay behind to do what ever they think is necessary to protect the country. Our sons and daughters have been there long enough.
This agreement between the US and the Taliban isn’t worth the paper that’s it’s written on. No one should have faith in or trust a group of terrorists who have killed their own people along with our troops.
The question to ask is: what would John do?
Our adversaries know a fool when they see one realDonaldTrump .
Didn't he say that the coronavirus was a hoax?
Will he ask for elements of medical in the not too distant future
In the end the deal will benefit Taliban more than the US..they can file for reparations for reconstruction of their own countries...the Taliban leaders may have realized time is catching up with them and the world around is changing....
Why isn't anyone calling him out for being high as fuck
B S
His limited vocabulary, the simplification and subsequent repetition of certain words or expressions, his slow and sometimes slurring speech: this man is getting worse.
Dr. Fauci nailing Fake News to the wall for saying he was being muzzled. Also, Fake News saying that Trump said Coronavirus was a hoax. Which he didn’t. He was talking about the Dems reckless comments that he hasn’t done anything about Coronavirus. Both Fake News stories.
JuliaDavisNews Oh! Well that is a plan meant for disaster. He will give away the store, including the rights of women and girls.
I hope they have their vests on.
He is going to demand Nobel peace prize again.
....So that the Taliban can just fuck it up and make us come back again in 6 months.
Similiar to the agreement between Hitler and Chamberlain . Terrorist organizations will thrive in a Taliban controlled Afghanistan and plot their attacks against American interests in the middle East . This accomplished what the Taliban and other terrorist organizations wanted.
Yes guys, we're done here, thank you for your contributions. This place is entrusted to you. I hope you won't make feel our absence. Hope to see you in our new joint project (Syria again, Libya, Uigur/China, South Azerbaijan/Iran).
Should have sent bush jr. yo sign the agreement; he’s the one who got us there
Finally They FaLLin in Love Leavin' heart in closet - - - ?
Shat it
So what did we negotiate. What did we get. Are they gonna come a build us 2 towers. Or is Donald getting a Trump tower over there. We lost didn't we.
TRUMP ENDED THE WAR!!!!!! GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!! TRUMP 2020!!!!!!
President Bones Spures can run, he is running away!
At least, we THINK we’ve signed a treaty with the Taliban but to be honest we just grabbed a guy with a beard, figured odds were on our side he’s probably Taliban ?
It had to end sometime but sad to see the bloody Taliban still in place.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!!
The US goes into a country, fight with a group from that country, can’t beat them, decide to make peace with them, then pack a leaves...Does anybody see what is wrong with this picture !!!!!
bUt We DoNt NeGoTiAtE wItH tErRoRiSts
thank you President Trump for doing something the last two presidents failed because they were too ignorant to do
Terrorist are finally friends again... They remember the good old days where cia train their leader bin laden but he then turned against them.. But now they are friends again because of their love for terrorism and oil is bigger than justice
Once again, President Trump proves his commitment to doing what is best for the USA and the world.
It sets into motion the total withdrawal of American troops, you absolute turnip. Don't downplay the accomplishment.
Congrats America. You just stood down for the guys who did 9/11
At least this president is trying. You ppl are idiots and would just follow the liberals off the cliff if they asked you to.
I remember it like yesterday, US bombarded Afghanistan with numerous types of missiles and bombs. Bush 's face was worth looking at. Today's deal is a big fat American slap on all those technological monster those couldn't deal Soldiers with faith in their hearts.
CNN and followers are bummed Trump is not expanding and starting new wars. They were hoping to bring back these guys:
vincentmenezes Briefing with Senior Administration Officials On Next Steps Toward an Agreement on Bringing Peace to Afghanistan - UnitedStates DepartmentOfState
Trillions wasted for what again? 911 hijackers weren't even from Afghanistan. Industrial military have their fix now?
Get ready for the resurgence!
Shame on you CNN Another US Media being horrible irresponsible: touting a resolution that accomplishes nothing more than a MAGA fever dream that will destroy the lives of women & girls in Afghanistan and isn’t even close to workable or proven for the long haul.
Watching the GOP doing a victory lap cause the USA LOST a war is one of the most surreal things Ive seen in my lifetime.
Why ain't no tvs allowed in Iraq? Answer: Because of the Taliban ⛔📺
Good. We’re finally getting the heck out of Afghanistan. Should’ve been out years ago, honestly. We have domestic problems to worry about, time for the Afghans to Learn how to protect themselves.
Sure. And the corona irus is a Hoax-
Believe it when I see it.
Well it will end in civil war with theTaleban as the winner. And guess who will show up in Afghanistan again? Yes Al-Qaeda and even Isis and friends.
America took another L winless in last 75 years maybe give it up
Another great victory for the mighty American empire. /s
So now we negotiate with terrorists...got it
realDonaldTrump: So, now it’s OKAY and PATRIOTIC to enter into agreements with SWORN ENEMIES? 😂😂😂
Just as the Dow crashes 4000 points over the past week and the coronavirus crisis grows, Donald Trump signs of peace agreement with the Taliban. I wonder if the talks and signing were accelerated because of all of Trump’s domestic woes. That would not surprise me in the least.
It's a wise choice by USA to sign the deal leave and let them handle the issues at their own. Also before complaining please know the history of Afghanistan.
So, now who is responsible for half million dead afghans and 25000 dead American soldiers in this futile war? Yesterday Haqqani was most wanted and today he was invited to write an article on front page of NY times and shake hands in doha. People:stop being fooled by your govnts
Finally. Lets get out of that $hithole
Hope is not another NORT KOREA
About time! We had been there far to long. Ethnic violence goes back centuries in that region. We are fooling ourselves if we think we can force our Western values and culture on them! Trump is right to get the hell out! Another promis kept!
suckers
SOS
Nice job President Trump!
This man was right tht time and similarly he is again warning the world about modi and his hinditiva ideology... Time will prove it gain... Taliban
We should never have been there, the 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia, they just happened to stop over in Afghanistan, before coming through Canada, the FBI told bush in August, that people wanted to learn how to fly Aircraft, not take off or landing, which was ignonred.
Thought we didn’t negotiate with terrorists?
Trump has the Democrats sounding like whining warmongers...
Let me rephrase this. “US signs historic agreement with a Terrorist Organization whose ideology is similar to Isis with a less aggressive approach.” ARE YOU MENTAL LOL! What happened when Obama pulled from Iraq? and they had troops too. You think they honour ink and a pen hahaha
US-TALIBAN agreement gives free hand TERRORISM to taliban. AGREEMENT IS DEFEAT OF US-NATO.
Time for use the brain.
Congratulations. May peace prevail in other volatile places also.
Good we newd to take our ball and go home
He wants them home so he has the extra cash it will save - for his moronic wall.
its not called the grave yard of empires for nothing 💁♂️
The reality is that so many people have no sense of this world,even what is Taliban,they get the information from the News,especially US news.can you believe?

I’m sure that peace and prosperity for all will be swiftly forthcoming/ especially for the female half of the population
Lmao some of you people are never happy 😂 2 months ago it was OMG HE’S STARTING A WAR IN IRAN! Now it’s OMG HE’S GETTING OUT OF A WAR IN AFGHANISTAN! 😂
(Sometimes) we negotiate with terrorists
We love peace.Congratulation(s).
Dems reaction...
We are negotiating with a terrorist organization on the safety of Afghanistan and the world. This is not going to end well.
Election campaign tricks....
Did Afghanistan's oil finish?
Summary: 19 years of war, Trillion+ dollars down the drain, million+ lives lost.
Wonder what my friends who died fighting them would think of this..too little too late probably.
in 2001, 'peace deal with the Taliban' would've been some kind of dark humor.
Couldn’t have done it without Obama’s leadership!!
Good but highly cautious. Let's see if the Taliban can live up to it.
So another Vietnam-style retreat? Winning....
Agreement with taliban the 'terrorist'?
Glad our troops are coming home! I gotta admit, Trump gets shit done!
While BarackObama is slashing the military, he is also negotiating with our sworn enemy the Taliban--who facilitated 9/11. - Donald J Trump. 2012
AprilDRyan Ummm we did what now?
AprilDRyan Does anyone remember the previous agreement by the Bush administration and how it lead to the emergence of Al Qaeda! The Taliban have no plans to abide by the rules of the West, especially when it comes to the education of women! It's an agreement, not a Treaty folks!
The Communist Democrat Party is already hoping it fails. Party before Country!
lol the shareholders will not be happy...
Can we drop one more MOAB before we leave?
We are making agreements with terrorists now?!
Breaking News: US Signs treaty with unreliable actors that will still do whatever they please. Meanwhile, red-hat wearing cultists will praise their Golden Cow and pretend he did something significant. The joys of indoctrination.
Bye bye...
Signing a deal with the Taliban is like shaking hands with Hitler and saying yes I understand those dead did not matter. Wow the ignorance.
Trump should nominate himself for the Nobel Peace Prize
We will keep access to the poppy fields ... right?
America can’t win wars anymore because bombs won’t do it. it was tried during WW2
Pompeo agreement (not a peace treaty) w/Taliban: US finally accepted it cannot control Afghanistan. Real question: Have Talibans changed spots? Talibans are extreme Islamists who will reclaim control of Aghanistan in next 5 years. I hope I'm wrong. Afghans deserve peace
After 18 years, capitulation. The real 'Art of the Deal'.
Intra - Afghan negotiations will start soon now.
Any plans to fight Afghanistan's thriving opium trade? The country produces more than 90% of the World's heroin; it's what funds the Taliban and other terror groups.
It's a great news. Hope peace returns to Afghanistan at the earliest!
I hope Trump hasn’t screwed up again as his motives are always self serving & the Teliban can’t be trusted. Wannabe Dictator Trump wants a Nobel Peace prize at any cost.
Put it into context 👇🏻👇🏻
Finally something I can give credit to the Trump administration for.
Hey if trump is going to bow to all the world's dictators, why not a terrorist group or two as well?
The agreement allows for complete US troop withdrawl from Afghanistan in 14 months.
I'm sure Trump just made concessions that dishonor the service members that's have their lives to the war. Disgraceful.
So did we win? No. On to the next one.
All became possible with the help of Pakistan.

US & Taliban sign deal to end 18- year war.
Good to see the end of American presence in Afghanistan. But, make no mistake: America, Canada, and others in the coalition lost a war to the Taliban. Wow.
Is this the image you have of the signing? Unreal.
How do you in half of Pakistan military ate taliban
19 years. The Taliban still exist, just with a new name,.. Billions wasted. And a few lives disrupted. thanks Republicans
The world bombers are humbled.
Shameless USA
Vietnam deja vu, another will learn about taliban persistent defeated US mighty military
nope 👀👀
Sign how? Talibans usually dont write or read.
Thank you president Trump! realDonaldTrump
Aren’t they farming communities?
America 1st!!!
Pay close attention...
Homeland is real?
Good!
North Korea all over again GrifterInChief
I’ll believe it when I see it. Is trump really going to trust the TALIBAN
Twenty years of war and it ends with America surrendering and promising to go home.
Thank God for the realDonaldTrump
Thank You BarackObama
I was thinking that USA dont meet terrorist
Good！
It is time to withdraw US military assets from South Korea. No more mercenary we need. No more robbery threat.
It's gonna be a Yuuuuge success! 😀😀😀😀😀
Fuckin finally. Couldnt have done this 3 years ago...
Wish em well. I hope they find lasting peace, and these 2.5m afghan refugees here in our country are able to go back to their own.
Good decision by trump to end the endless war. War for nothing
Democrats will be against this.
Yeah.... because the Taliban are trusted and it will never smack America in the face in years to come.....negotiating with terrorists is a great move.....🤔
