Congressman Burchett urges new President Trump to halt US aid to the Afghan Taliban, citing funding concerns.

US Congressman Tim Burchett has called on President-elect Donald Trump to stop foreign aid going to the Afghan Taliban, arguing it funds the group. He points to $10 million in foreign aid paid to the Taliban through NGOs and plans to reintroduce legislation against the funding. This comes as reports suggest continued US aid could indirectly support the Taliban's operations, though the US State Department says the aid is for humanitarian purposes. Critics warn halting aid could cause humanitarian crises.
