Zalmay Khalilzad
Zalmay Khalilzad is an Afghan-American diplomat who served as the United States Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation under President Donald Trump. He played a crucial role in negotiating the 2020 agreement with the Taliban, aimed at ending the U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan. His tenure was marked by controversy due to the exclusion of the Afghan government from the negotiation process, which raised concerns about the legitimacy and effectiveness of the agreement. Khalilzad's diplomatic efforts have drawn parallels to current negotiations regarding Ukraine, as experts fear similar patterns of exclusion and capitulation could repeat.
