Lol! Just like he did for the Kurds?! He hung them out to dry and they got slaughtered. You can read about it here:

Note the following: "The Kurds were holding 11,000 ISIS prisoners in northern Syria, along with thousands of other ISIS women and children. By pulling back U.S. troops and allowing Turkey to slaughter the Kurds, Trump has allowed for the possibility that many of these prisoners, who were apprehended through a years-long effort at the expense of thousands of Kurdish lives, would escape or be released."
Again, what "agreement" did Trump have with the Taliban? The one so-called agreement is that they wouldn't fire on US personnel. And they haven't done so. They didn't agree that they wouldn't walk or drive into any city or town in Afghanistan which they arguably consider to be their own country.
Over and above that, it should be axiomatic that you can't have an actual "agreement" or a "deal" with the Taliban. The Taliban don't do politics; they do beheadings. You and a lot of others in America and elsewhere don't understand you're dealing with a fundamentalist Islamist state that considers lying to the infidel (us and anybody not like them) to be a coveted religious obligation, so there's never really any deal or agreement with the Taliban that they can't renege on because of their religious beliefs.
The whole notion that Trump and Pompeo negotiated some sort of a deal that would have precluded what just occurred in Afghanistan and that Trump would have better prepared for it than Biden or anybody else is ludicrous...
