Back on February 2020 during the trump administration it was said that the US and its Nato allies would withdraw all troops in 14 months if the Taliban upheld its promises, including not allowing al-Qaeda or other militants to operate in areas it controlled, and proceeding with national peace talks. With this deal between the US and the Taliban it was said that all remaining US forces, about 10,000, should be due to leave the country by May 1st in exchange for Taliban security guarantees. However, the Biden administration said it would review the peace agreement made with the Taliban during Trump's administration to make sure that they are living up to their end of the deal, including reducing violence and cutting ties with terrorists, before withdrawing. In addition there was a letter sent to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, warning of a possible new spring offensive. The letter calls for a 90-day reduction in violence in Afghanistan and a new international peace effort to help reach a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire.
