KABUL—The Taliban has called on the United States and other countries to recognize its government in Afghanistan, saying that failure to do so, along with the continued freezing of Afghan funds abroad, would lead to problems not only for the country, but for the world.
No country has formally recognized the Taliban government since the terrorist group took over the country in August, while billions of dollars in Afghan assets and funds abroad have also been frozen, even as the country faces severe economic and humanitarian crises.
