The president is expected to sign an executive order Friday.

President Biden plans to sign an executive order Friday that would split the $7 billion in Afghan government funds held in the United States, dividing the funds into money that some families of victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks can access through legal means and the other half for programs providing humanitarian relief and help with other basic needs for Afghanistan.

The Biden administration announced the move Friday after spending months trying to sort out how to free up some of the assets to support the needs of the Afghan people without allowing the Taliban to access the funds, while also considering ongoing litigation by U.S. terrorism victims. Many U.S. victims of terrorism, including relatives of victims who died in the 9/11 attacks, have been suing the Taliban and trying to access the assets in federal court. The administration plans to allow $3.5 billion to be accessed by the families, who will be able to have the courts settle their claims.

Half for invading Ukrainian and half in 50 years for 11sept families

10% for the big guy! Hunter gets a couple million and a free crack pipe!

Suggestion: 50% for crack pipes and 50% for Ukraine.

Absolutely wrong. Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9/11. Just because Osama was living there, doesn't mean you cheat them of their monies. It's not Osama's cash.

Biden to split frozen Afghan funds for 9/11 victims, reliefPresident Joe Biden is expected to issue an executive order on Friday to move $7 billion of the Afghan central bank’s assets frozen in the U.S. banking system to fund humanitarian relief in Afghanistan and compensate victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to a U.S. official familiar with the decision. International funding to Afghanistan was suspended and billions of dollars of the country’s assets abroad, mostly in the United States, were frozen after the Taliban took control of the country in August. The country’s long-troubled economy has been in a tailspin since the Taliban takeover. You mean they haven't gotten heir money since 2011? Average American people hates when a US President does that.

Biden says easing mask mandates ‘probably premature’ as blue states loosen covid restrictionsThe president's remarks come after an increasing number of Democratic-led states loosen face covering requirements as the omicron-driven coronavirus surge relents. He is right as usual اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد ﷺ Easing restrictions while allowing others to chose to wear their masks anyways (as I will until I feel assured) probably isn’t “premature”. What’d be premature is treating such easing as “back to normal” as twitter often does…
