Yes, the Trump administration in 2020 agreed to the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners

The Taliban on Aug. 15 seized control of the Afghanistan government for the first time in nearly 20 years. President Joe Biden said the Taliban’s return to power occurred quicker than his administration expected. The takeover in Kabul has led to a dangerous situation for Americans and U.S. allies trying to evacuate out of Afghanistan. Since the Taliban’s takeover, people have claimed that the U.S., when Donald Trump was president, agreed to the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners.
