Biden didn't wave shit. Trump already complied with all the terms of his Surrender Agreement knowing full well the Taliban were still fighting both the Afghan Army and the Afghan government and had not started peace negotiations. He went above and beyond by pulling out 70% of our remaining troops just one week before the new Administration took over. "Lame Duck" Donald screwed the military, the next president, Afghanistan, the USA, and the Pooch.
Biden pulled a date out of his ass and waved key provisions of the agreement to meet his fake date.
D. With the start of intra-Afghan negotiations, the United States will initiate an administrative review of current U.S. sanctions and the rewards list against members of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan which is not recognized by the United States as a state and is known as the Taliban with the goal of removing these sanctions by August 27, 2020, which corresponds to Muharram 8, 1442 on the Hijri Lunar calendar and Saunbola 6, 1399 on the Hijri Solar calendar.
