Ban on Recognizing Taliban Regime and Imposing Terrorism Sanctions on Afghanistan.
This bill formally prohibits the US government from recognizing the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan and bans the use of federal funds for any action implying such recognition. Crucially, it mandates the designation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as a State Sponsor of Terrorism and the Taliban itself as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. These steps trigger severe financial and trade sanctions, impacting US national security and foreign policy.
