Prohibiting Recognition of Taliban Regime and Designating Afghanistan as Terror Sponsor.
This bill mandates that the US government must never recognize the Taliban as the official government of Afghanistan, viewing their takeover as illegitimate. It strictly prohibits federal agencies from using funds or taking actions that imply recognition of the regime. Crucially, it requires the formal designation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as a State Sponsor of Terrorism and the Taliban as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
