No one knows how that money is being spent except, likely, the leaders of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban.
"The Taliban pressures the U.N. and other NGOs to issue contracts to Taliban-affiliated companies, to partner with Taliban-affiliated NGOs, and to not partner with other NGOs.
The Taliban have embedded intelligence officials in U.N. agencies to supervise their work, facilitate the interference and diversion, and censor reporting about it," he said.
" Biden administration officials meet "with the Taliban frequently, praise the Taliban often, and haphazardly send billions of taxpayer dollars into Afghanistan," he said.
"Through these policies, the Biden administration has all but recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, and yet, over the past two years by every metric, the Taliban has only become worse.
" The Taliban "are terrorists who impose theocratic edicts to oppress the Afghan people, abuse women, and steal humanitarian aid from starving Afghans," Mr. McCaul said.
