The Taliban now operate as an insurgent force with control over large swaths of the country.<\/p>\n<p>The United States is seeking to wind down its 17-year-old war in Afghanistan and withdraw the roughly 14,000 American troops deployed there.<\/p>\n<p>It isn\u2019t clear how much progress has been made. Talks with the group concluded last month with no agreement to end the war, and a top Afghan official, Hamdullah Mohib, offered a scathing critique of the Trump administration\u2019s handling of those
