Afghanistan’s acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has criticised the United States for its actions towards the new Taliban government and for severing economic assistance after the group seized power...
show moreMuttaqi says that the group would not allow any country to impose sanctions or embargoes on Afghanistan, including the US.
He says they helped the US until the evacuation of their last person, but unfortunately, the US, instead of thanking them, froze their assets.
The US Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have cut off Afghanistan’s access to funds, resulting in a widespread liquidity crunch in the cash-dependent economy.
Muttaqi thanked the international community for pledging more than $1bn of aid for Afghanistan at a UN donor conference on Monday.
