President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan said it is possible that the Biden administration would provide aid to the Taliban following the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan and the collapse of the Afghan government.

Sullivan told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” on Tuesday that regarding giving financial assistance to the Taliban, “that will be about the Taliban’s actions. It will be about whether they follow through on their commitments.”
