This publication reflects on US peace talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Key insights include 1) that before Donald Trump’s suspension of the talks in September 2019, a draft deal that reportedly included a Taliban commitment to intra-Afghan talks had been ready for signature; 2) such a deal on a narrow set of issues is necessary to pave the way for more important peace negotiations among Afghans; 3) the US should therefore pick up the process where it left off and finalize its agreement with the Taliban, and more.
