The United States-Taliban Deal, aka the Doha Accord, "was a peace agreement signed by the United States and the Taliban on 29 February 2020 in Doha, Qatar, to bring an end to the 2001-2021 war in Afghanistan. Negotiated for the US by Zalmay Khalilzad for the Trump administration, the agreement did not involve the then Afghan government"

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivers a speech on 29 February 2020 explaining the Doha Accord: The Taliban would not support ISIS/ISUL terrorists on Afghan soil and in exchange the U.S. would gradually pull out of Afghanistan. Both the U.S. and the Taliban had grown weary of fighting, and the Taliban's pivot to fighting terrorism was the common denominator behind the deal.
It should be noted that between the signing of the Doha Accord and the botched U.S exit from Afghanistan under Biden-Harris, not a single American life had been lost. The Taliban had lived up to their end of the bargain. The lives of 13 U.S service men and women lost was the result of the complete failure by the Biden-Harris administration to achieve the Afghanistan Exit (per the Doha Agreement) "with dignity" (Trump's words). History will likely record this epic fail of American leadership as the U.S.s worst military exit in American history.
According to the plan the Taliban would cooperate with the Afghan government in fighting terrorism, Bagram airbase was under control of the Afghan government and the U.S. would have "eyes and ears" at this strategic airbase strategically close to China and Russia. The incompetent and inept Biden-Harris administration fumbled the ball, "dropped the baton", in carrying out the terms of the Doha Accord and as a result the Taliban have taken over Afghanistan, renaming it the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which has become China's newest "client state". The president of Afghanistan fled and the Afghan army ran. The Taliban has taken Bagram airbase and $80 billion worth of U.S. top-line military equipment it's been selling on the black market, and China will show them how to mine their lithium deposits. In a likely exchange the Taliban will let China park its fighter jets at Bagram airbase.
And despite the catastrophic failure of the Afghan Exit, to this day Biden calls it a "extraordinary success'. This underscores how important it is for the Trump-Vance team to be elected by the American people this November 2024 b/c Trump knows how to conduct foreign policy that aligns with America's national interest and negotiate w/ U.S adversaries to achieve positive outcomes that serve the American people.
