At the start of the war, the U.S. supported the Northern Alliance, who were a group of rebels opposed to the Taliban government. Once the Taliban were overthrown, the Northern Alliance became Afghanistan's new government and so now the U.S. is backing it against Taliban rebels trying to take over again.
