Congressman Bill Huizenga proposes "Protecting Taxpayer Dollars from Taliban Theft Act" to halt US taxpayer money payments to Taliban.

Congressman Bill Huizenga has proposed the "Protecting Taxpayer Dollars from Taliban Theft Act," which seeks to stop the U.S. government from paying taxpayer money to the Taliban, estimated at $10 million annually through various fees and taxes. Huizenga argues such payments are illogical given the Taliban's antagonistic stance. The legislation would also mandate the State Department to report any payments or withholdings made to the Taliban or Afghan state-owned enterprises.
