I don't believe the US has much leverage in this situation. Given how the war in Afghanistan is extremely unpopular domestically, any recourse against the Taliban that would involve US military involvement would be a political slip 'n slide.

No, but I imagine the US can still make it very difficult for the Taliban, perhaps in a more clandestine way. There are still bases across the border afaik. There was a long time for peace treaty talks, so perhaps some countries in the (Gulf) region are intermediaries in this new balance of power.
