'Do you regret giving the Taliban that legitimacy?' Chris Wallace asked the former Trump administration official.
"I just want to ask you one more question about your record though, sir," Wallace responded, pressing the issue."You were the first American secretary of state to ever meet with the Taliban and you talked about how they had agreed to join us in the fight against terrorism."
"Do you regret giving the Taliban that legitimacy? Do you regret pressing the Afghan government to release 5,000 prisoners? Which they did, some of whom are now back on the battlefield fighting with the Taliban," Wallace asked Pompeo. After Biden took office, he decided to follow through with the peace deal signed with the Taliban under Trump in February 2020. Biden actually extended the withdrawal deadline from May 1 to September 11, then later moved it forward to August 31.
