The US is not in a hurry to recognise Afghanistan’s new interim government, according to the White House, which also stated that it is in talks with the Taliban to get American people out of the conflict-torn country.
“No one in this government, including the President and the national security team, would argue that the Taliban are valued members of the international community. They haven’t earned it in any manner, and we’ve never given them credit for it. Four former Taliban fighters who have been imprisoned make up the caretaker cabinet.” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki addressed reporters during her daily press conference.
That hasn’t been confirmed by the administration, she claims.
“We have not declared that we will recognise it, and we have no plans to do so in the near future. Before that, they still have a lot of work to do. We’re attempting to communicate with them because they now administer and control Afghanistan, and we require their assistance in removing American citizens, lawful permanent residents, and SIV candidates “Psaki is of the opinion that
She remarked, “We need to talk to them.”
“However, engaging with them is difficult because their new acting interior minister is a terrorist from the Haqqani network. He’s wanted in connection with a blast that killed six people, one of them was an American. He’s suspected of taking part in cross-border attacks against US troops. On his head has been placed a ten-million-dollar prize. “What are we doing here?” she wondered.
Sirajuddin Haqqani, a globally designated terrorist, is the acting interior minister in the Taliban’s harsh provisional administration.
“Shouldn’t we just talk to the Afghan commanders and leave without removing the rest of the Americans?” the White House press secretary wondered.
She emphasised that the international community is watching.
“The United States is keeping an eye on everything. It’s about whether they allow people leave the country who want to go, if they treat women equally across the country as they have promised, and how they act and operate. As a result, we’re not making progress toward recognition “She was adamant.
“At the same time,” she continued, “we’re dealing with a reality world here, where we have to engage in order to get American citizens and others out of the nation.”
Meanwhile, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul spearheaded a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen urging her to keep US sanctions against the Taliban in place.
“Now that all US military and diplomatic staff have left, the Taliban now holds all the cards, leaving Americans and hundreds of our Afghan allies trapped on the ground. Despite public declarations to the contrary, they advised you and the rest of the Biden Administration to keep a healthy dose of scepticism about the Taliban’s goals and capabilities.
“Since taking control of Kabul, the Taliban’s ties to Al-Qaeda have become even stronger, as has its track record of poor governance. We must preserve the leverage that this administration has left in order to not only secure the evacuation of our citizens, allies, and Afghan partners from the clutches of a terrorist group, but also to prevent another atrocity on American soil, similar to the tragic September 11, 2001 attacks “According to Republican legislators.
The Prohibiting Support to the Taliban Act was presented by Congressmen Carlos Gimenez and Ted Budd to restrict American taxpayer monies from being delivered to the Taliban in the form of foreign aid or economic assistance.
“The Taliban government should not receive any funding from hardworking Americans since it aids and comforts Al-Qaeda militants. Rep. Gimenez, I’d like to thank you for leading this important bill “Budd added something to the conversation.
Congressman Joe Wilson stated that the proposed bill’s composition “The Taliban terrorist regime confirms a return to absolute female servitude and a resurgent plot to target Americans, which was abandoned by US President Joe Biden.
Biden is in Afghanistan, coordinating suicide bombers around the United States “..
He stated, “It’s horrifying that Biden and (Vice President) Kamala Harris are incapable of responding when attacks occur.”
