Trump's Peace Deal is Falling Apart

Trump's supposed peace deal, which was supposed to lead to a US withdrawal from Afghanistan, is falling apart. The problem is that the Taliban is demanding the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners. The government of President Ashraf Ghani, however, is refusing. It turns out that the deal was only between the Trump administration and the Taliban. Ghani's government was excluded, which now seems like a big mistake. In the meantime, the fighting in Afghanistan continues. So much for the peace accord.

Donald Trump has been trying to conduct foreign policy the same way he ran his business: on the basis of shady deals. It turns out he is now dealing with opponents who have his number.
