The United States Government is in talks with the brutal Taliban regime to release Billions of Dollars of Afghan assets to help prevent starvation this coming winter.

This despite the Taliban being in clear breach of all agreements and the re-emergence of al Qaeda in Kabul.

According to the Daily Mail, the US is leading the effort to transfer billions in foreign-held Afghan central bank assets into a proposed Swiss-based trust fund.

"Afghanistan's economic and humanitarian crises deepened when Washington and other donors halted aid that funded 70% of the government budget in 2021," said the Mail.

"Washington also stopped flying in hard currency, effectively paralyzing Afghanistan's banking system, and froze $7 billion in Afghan assets in the US. Biden has ordered half the sum set aside 'for the benefit of the Afghan people'."

What do you think? Should the United States release Billions of $s to help Afghanistan's hungry?
