Afghanistan&#8217;s economy is hurting in the face of Western sanctions, as well as from not being able to access frozen assets. Those that want these talks point to humanitarian need. However, critics argue that this money is going straight to the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From Fox News:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The U.S. and other nations froze billions of dollars worth of foreign-held assets belonging to the now-defunct Afghanistan government after the Taliban took over the country in 2021. The Biden administration continues to work with Taliban officials despite the terrorist organization&#8217;s housing of a top al Qaeda leader in Kabul, Reuters reported Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration and the United Nations are working to release the funds in an effort to stabilize the Afghan economy, which has all but collapsed under Taliban rule and Western sanctions. Humanitarian organizations have warned that the Afghan people may face hunger in the impending winter.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. seeks to avoid sending funds directly to the Taliban by setting up a Swiss trust fund that would hold control the funds and distribute them for humanitarian needs. Nonprofits warned earlier this year that much of U.S. aid to Afghanistan was going directly to the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>The renewed push to give the funding to Afghanistan comes weeks after a U.S. drone strike killed top al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri in Kabul, the Afghan capital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has the article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-admin-pushing-forward-talks-return-billions-frozen-funding-afghanistan-report\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House, and the United Nations, want to release funds to Afghanistan to help its &hellip; <a title=\"Team Biden pushing for talks aimed at releasing billions of frozen funding to Afghanistan\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=129632\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Team Biden pushing for talks aimed at releasing billions of frozen funding to Afghanistan<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[518],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-biden"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=129632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129632\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=129632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=129632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=129632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
