The Biden administration is considering sending economic aid to the Taliban, even as the militants hold mock funerals for American troops and NATO allies to celebrate the end of the 20-year US military intervention in Afghanistan.
US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told ABC's Good Morning America that the U.S. intends to continue sending health, food and other forms of humanitarian aid to the Afghan people.
He also said that other forms of cash aid, including economic and developmental assistance, would depend on whether the Taliban 'follow through on their commitments' including to allow safe passage for Americans still in Afghanistan.
It's going to be up to them and we will wait and see by their actions how we end up responding in terms of the economic and developmental assistance,' he said.
Sullivan insisted that any aid would flow through 'international institutions' and not directly to the Taliban, however the militant group is now in full control of the country's government and banking system.
Sullivan has faced intense criticism and even calls for his resignation from critics who blame him for downplaying concerns from military and intelligence officials ahead of the disastrous US withdrawal.
Meanwhile, coffins draped with the US, UK and French flags as well as NATO's insignia were paraded through the streets of Khost on Tuesday by crowds waving the Taliban's flag, hours after the final US plane departed.
The taunting ceremony followed the deaths of 13 US troops in an ISIS-K suicide bombing last week at the Kabul airport, where fireworks lit up the sky and celebratory gunfire rattled as the final American troops left on Monday night.

And Joe gets his 10%.
Can we give them some Hellfire Missiles too?? How about Nukes?
Do the Taliban even have watches to check every other minute?
Paying tribute to terrorists never works.
Doin’ what Dems do best. Wasting other peoples money to suit their whims.
Chairman Joe used tional security to sell out America using “art pieces” now he uses weapons technology and nin exchange for 30 pieces of silver
Acting as a foreign enemy would, only he’s not acting.
“Aid” = Ransom
“Aid” = Ransom
So Joe’s going to pay the Taliban, to make sure they follow China’s rules? They’ve got all that military equipment for free. Why can’t they sell it to China, to get cash?
When in doubt
Scream and shout
Then throw money
All about
Giving the Taliban aid is funding and aiding a Terrorist entity. This bastard has already dumped and left behind 80 plus Billion dollars worth of U.S. Military Hardware paid for by the Hard working tax Payers of this country.
When Is he going to be arrest for committing that crime?
Must be the Dems are going to set up ballot drop boxes in Afghanistan in time for the next election cycle.
this gets from bad to worse.
This gets from WTH to WTF.
I don’t know much, but even I am rubbing my head on this one.
Do not think that biden just thought of this. This has been part of the agreement from the start. biden is committed to bringing islam to the world, and to do that he turned Afghanistan over to the taliban, gave them 82 billion dollars worth of materiel, left them possibly 2,000 Americans to rape, torture and kill as they please.
The money will be disguised as “humanitarian aid” or “economic assistance.” It’s money, for pete’s sake! It doesn’t matter what kind of a label you put on it, it’s money, and they will use it any way they want to.
joe doesn’t care about islam like bammy does. joe just wants the big money disguised as a “book deal,” the mansion like bammy has, and the pension. Actually, he won’t be able to enjoy those things, but jill will.
Aid?
Treason?
Somebody?
Sheesh.
This is so outrageous let’s hope at least some of the Dem voters will drop out. Some.
Lining up the pro cancel culture, pro-abortion, pro Dem, anti Trump, pro Taliban, pro BLM and pro Chinese Communists on one side of the line.
We are on the other.
What was the name for that in the 1860’s?
We didn’t start this.
Our tax dollars against our will to pay for abortions and now money going to the enemy we just fought against for years? With officially 2,372 Americans dead by 2018 and more later. And many thousands of wounded sometimes meaning with amputations and some with other lifelong disabilities. Now the enemies are our “friends?”
No.
