Overview
As President Biden's administration approaches its conclusion, he engaged with relatives of three Americans held by the Taliban. Negotiations are ongoing to secure their release in exchange for Muhammad Rahim, a detainee at Guantanamo. Biden committed to not trading Rahim unless Mahmood Habibi is released, amidst complicated discussions with the Taliban. The situation remains urgent as a deal may not be reached before the transfer of power to the incoming administration. The Biden administration has successfully negotiated the release of over 75 detained Americans throughout his term.
