The Taliban spokesperson refrained from commenting on statements made by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
After two decades of military presence in Afghanistan, U.S. forces withdrew, leaving behind $7 billion worth of weapons, as the country fell under Taliban control.
While rejecting Trump’s demands, the Taliban has expressed interest in forging new ties with the U.S. under its current leadership.
Their aim is to access nearly $9 billion in frozen foreign reserves.
Seeking international legitimacy, they hopes to establish peaceful relations with the U.S., which could provide much-needed financial relief to a country facing economic collapse due to the loss of foreign aid, according to reports.
On Tuesday, the afghan rulers announced a prisoner exchange, releasing American citizens in return for an Afghan detained in the U.S.
Although nations like China, Pakistan, and Russia have engaged with Taliban representatives, the administration remains largely unrecognized globally due to its widespread human rights violations.
