The United States Department has denied providing any kind of financial assistance or any kind of support to Afghanistan’s Taliban-led Government.
“I have made clear in previous briefings, we do not provide any funding to the Taliban,” US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said while speaking at a press briefing in Washington.

The official’s address came in response to a question which cited State Department’s Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Pate’s remarks regarding the provision of $300 million to the war-torn country via United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in different forms.
He further said that Washington continues to closely monitor the Taliban’s treatment of the people of Afghanistan, adding that the Biden administration expects them to honour their assurances to the Afghan people and the international community in this regard.
“Their [Taliban’s] relationship with the international community depends entirely on their actions,” he noted.
Highlighting the United Nations report on the treatment of women and girls and moral oversight in Afghanistan, Spoker Person for US State Dept Miller called out Kabul for its unpredictable and arbitrary enforcement of the Taliban’s morality code, terming it as something which undermines human rights in the country.
