Kabul: Michael McCaul, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has condemned the U.S. provision of $10.9 million to the Taliban as “unacceptable.” This criticism follows a report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), which was requested by McCaul.
“It is unacceptable for any U.S. funding to benefit the Taliban,” McCaul stated. According to SIGAR, the U.S. has allocated $2.8 billion to address the humanitarian crisis caused by the Taliban’s takeover. “Unsurprisingly, SIGAR has found that at least $10.9 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars have gone to the Taliban,” McCaul added.
