Afghanistan’s economy has been destroyed by the Taliban: Linda Thomas-Greenfield

The US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, at the UNSC meeting on Afghanistan said that the Taliban have already destroyed the economy of Afghanistan, and the US is not going to turn Afghan frozen assets over to the Taliban.

She added that no country in the world which is serious about controlling terrorism in Afghanistan will support the Taliban unconditional access to the billions of dollar that belong to the people of Afghanistan.

Greenfield added that the Taliban provided safe haven for Al Qaeda leader in Kabul instead of urging the international community for assistance to address the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

The US ambassador to the UN stated that the US and other donors have sent $2 billion since the Taliban’s domination in Afghanistan which has stabilized the value of Afghani against other currencies.
