The United States is negotiating with the Taliban to end the longest war in U.S. history. But this isn’t the first time we’ve been at the table with them. What keeps us mired in this long, bloody, and complicated conflict? And is there actually a path out of it? Jen talks to Jarrett Blanc, who led negotiations with the Taliban as the Obama administration’s acting Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, about what the Trump administration is getting right.
