Owes You Nothing: Taliban Refuses Trump’s Demand to Return $7 Billion in U.S. Military Equipment.

The news as it trends.

The Taliban has refused President Donald Trump’s demand to return $7 billion worth of U.S. military equipment seized during the 2021 withdrawal.

Trump threatened to cut off financial assistance to Afghanistan unless the equipment is returned.

The Taliban stated they need the equipment to combat ISIS-K and maintain security.

The U.S. military equipment was originally supplied to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) to help maintain security, train Afghan security forces, and support reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan.

According to reports, the Taliban started using the equipment for their own purposes after seizing it. It is yet to be seen what Trump’s action will be following this refusal.
