US Senate: Designate Taliban as Terrorist Organization, Freeze Afghan Assets.

The US Senate calls for the Afghan Taliban to be designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, aiming to freeze their assets in the US and block access to international funds. These actions are intended to enhance the security of US citizens by limiting the financing of terrorism and preventing Afghanistan from being used as a base for extremist groups.
Key points
Designating the Taliban as a terrorist organization: This will limit their ability to raise funds and support globally.
Freezing Afghan government assets: These funds will not reach the Taliban, aiming to weaken their power.
Impact on international aid: The US will pressure other countries and institutions not to provide funds to the Taliban, which may affect the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.
