Why is the taliaban getting our tax dollars?

Obama!

How? Or why?

The how is that they mostly get it through the UN.

The why is because those in charge (Congress/president) haven't put a stop to it, simple as that. Congress appropriates, the president signs into law. If any organization or country gets our money, it's because Congress appropriated it and the president approved it. They could stop giving that money if they wanted to.

My guess is now we are working on rare earth minerals. We are not at war with them as far as I can tell now so it's back to finding a way to get something out of a country that we don't have here.

The U.S. sends significant financial aid to Afghanistan, primarily for humanitarian purposes.

Weekly Transfers: The U.S. Department of State has confirmed that it sends approximately $80 million in cash to Afghanistan every 10 to 14 days, totaling around $40 million per week.
Total Aid Since 2021: Since the Taliban regained control in August 2021, the U.S. has provided nearly $21 billion in aid, focusing on humanitarian assistance, refugee resettlement, and other critical needs.
Recent Fiscal Year: For fiscal year 2024, about $755 million in aid was obligated, with additional funds reported for fiscal year 2025.

And PRESIDENT TRUMP has a "different" relationship with the Taliban than ice cream joey had. A wee bit different.

And here is what I found on why now?

Are you saying Trump has not tried to stop payouts to different countries?

^Trump doesn't get to decide. Congress decides where the money goes, not the president. The president can encourage certain spending decisions, and veto ones he doesn't like, but deciding where money goes is a legislative power, not an executive power.

Trump is in charge but can't stop it so what you are saying is not true.

Is the taliaban like the taliban? Asking for an educated friend.

Which part, specifically?

Wait and see what happens soon!
There won't be any prelude if that's what you're asking.

You have friends?

Something something, trump has a master plan ,something something ,chess not checkers,something something

Since the Taliban takeover, Afghanistan has suffered numerous humanitarian crises, with half its 40 million people in need of food, water and other basic necessities. Earthquakes last year killed more than 1,200 people and left thousands displaced. Women’s rights have been severely curtailed.

The U.S. remains the largest donor of aid to Afghanistan, providing a total of about $2.6 billion since the collapse of the previous Afghan government. But fears over money ending up in the wrong hands have complicated aid delivery. For instance, U.S. officials have blocked the central bank from receiving money from a trust fund holding Afghan funds that could be used to benefit the country.

“We could not be more clear on this: The United States does not provide funding to the Taliban,” said Matthew Miller, a State Department spokesperson, at a briefing last year.

The inspector general report calls that assertion into question. The State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development have continued to provide money to the U.N. to assist ongoing humanitarian efforts. The U.N., in turn, has said it must send cash to Afghanistan because of the lack of an infrastructure to wire money.

After getting the money from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the U.N. flies shrink-wrapped $100 bills to the Kabul International Airport. The money arrives on a regular basis, as much as $40 million at a time, according to posts from the Afghan central bank on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Once aid organizations receive the U.S. dollars, they must convert the money into afghanis, the country’s currency, to pay for workers and other expenses. They often use private money exchanges, which use the dollars to purchase afghanis from the central bank, known as the Da Afghanistan Bank.

Senior leaders of the Taliban control the central bank, which has no systems in place to prevent terrorism financing or money laundering, according to the inspector general’s report, which cites an analysis paid for by USAID. Officials at the development agency declined to release the study, describing it as a “confidential internal document.”
