A similar agreement was also signed on the same day in Kabul between Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and US Defence Secretary Mark Esper which endorsed all the points of the deal between Taliban and the USA. The Afghan government, the Taliban and other stakeholders will have to exhibit the utmost sagacity and foresight in arriving at a consensus on the future of Afghanistan. Pakistan was asked to facilitate talks between the USA and the Taliban. President Trump also hinted at the possibility of US withdrawal even without a deal which was an ominous proposition. The deal between the USA and the Taliban is a springboard for peace in Afghanistan.
