The U.S. is seeking to send humanitarian aid to Afghans, but the Taliban’s treatment of aid workers will be closely watched

The Biden administration is restarting U.S. funding to humanitarian aid programs in Afghanistan that were halted after the Taliban took control of the country, in what senior administration officials said is a key test of whether the group will interfere in such efforts.

The U.S. Agency for International Development is redirecting more than $260 million that had been programmed for projects in Afghanistan before the Taliban takeover, the officials said, sending the money to programs providing food, medicine and other humanitarian aid needed to help the country cope with a growing economic crisis.

Bad idea, let other countries take the lead here since Afghanistan does seem to want us…..

Biden should take that money and pay the back due rent everyone owes, or at least spend it on Americans. You know: building back better.

I'm afraid no humanitarian aid will reach anywhere. The US already armed terrorists with a trillion dollars when the Afghan government tricked US officials like children into giving 20 years of false reports on the army and spending. Is it left to feed the terrorists?

Reality fact check needed now.

Why would you give aid?

Just wondering: How much of this U.S. funding for humanitarian aid... ...will go to food to feed hungry, innocent people? ....will end up in the pockets of Taliban oppressors? AfghanistanDisaster AfghanistanCrisis

How much of this aid will be stolen & resold? How much of this aid will be lost to corruption? Who will become very wealthy out of this aid? How much of this aid will actually get to those that really need it?

Or start funding money to the student loan debt! It's going to get to the point where people stop going to college bc its all a scam about money. Make education more affordable by paying off student loan debt or people will be too afraid to go due to $$. POTUS

Oh great now your gonna feed them too...

Who owns the wsj?

That was some airlift!

Biden weak.

Looks like fear of China is behind the decision.
