MOSCOW (Sputnik) –The Taliban hopes President-elect Donald Trump’s administration will remove its members from the U.S. terrorist list, Suhail Shaheen, head of the Taliban’s Qatar office, told Sputnik Friday.
"Of course now, when the war is over and we are in a new phase, there is no point in keeping our members on this list," Shaheen said.
The political office head also noted that it was during Trump's first term from 2017 to 2021 when the United States and Taliban reached agreements that allowed to cease the hostilities and put an end to the US military presence in Afghanistan.
The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, toppling the Washington-backed government as US and NATO troops were leaving the country after almost 20 years of military presence there. Numerous countries and international organizations responded to the takeover by cutting aid and ties with Kabul.
