Afghan conflict trump hails deal with taliban to end 18 year war

I think there may be some misinformation here.

There has been no deal between the United States and the Taliban to end the 18-year war in Afghanistan. While there have been ongoing peace talks between the US and the Taliban, a deal has not been reached.

In fact, the US and the Taliban have been engaged in a fragile and uncertain peace process, with several rounds of talks taking place in Qatar since 2018. The talks have focused on a potential withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in exchange for Taliban commitments to reduce violence and prevent terrorist groups from operating in the country.

However, the talks have been marked by setbacks and disagreements, and a deal has not been reached. The US has been critical of the Taliban's failure to reduce violence and has accused them of not living up to their commitments.

Additionally, the US has been engaged in a military campaign in Afghanistan, known as Operation Freedom's Sentinel, which has been ongoing since 2001. The US has maintained a significant military presence in the country, with around 14,000 troops currently stationed there.

So, to summarize, there has been no deal between the US and the Taliban to end the 18-year war in Afghanistan. While peace talks have been ongoing, a deal has not been reached, and the conflict remains ongoing.
