The United States judges the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” (AIE, as the Taliban call the country)*) with actions, not with words. This was stated by the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, referring to the conditions for the recognition of the IEA as a State.
Jean-Pierre noted that the IEA wants international legitimacy, exclusion from sanctions lists and foreign financing to revive the Afghan economy.
“These aspirations require the IEA to live up to its responsibilities. “At a minimum, Afghanistan will not be able to strengthen its economy unless women are able to participate in all aspects of society without restrictions.” – said Jean-Pierre, who has long admitted that she is an active lesbian.
The spokeswoman also said that the United States “will continue to collaborate with the IEA on the rights of women and girls and the return of illegally detained US citizens.”
