Nancy Mace, a US Congresswoman, has introduced a bill in the US Congress that would designate the Taliban as a "Foreign Terrorist Organisation”.
The bill, known as the "Preventing the Recognition of Terrorist State Act," aims to prevent the recognition of the Taliban.
The Republican representative stated that freedom and justice demand rejecting tyranny and oppression in all its forms and that this bill will ensure the United States never recognises the terrorist regime of the Taliban.
Mace added, "By prohibiting any federal actions implying their legitimacy and designating them as state sponsors of terrorism, we stand firm against this rogue state’s barbarism.”
A statement released by Mace's office on Thursday indicates that, if enacted, the bill will prevent the recognition of the Taliban government.
The statement indicates that the bill will send a clear message to the Middle East that the US will never recognise a regime controlled by terrorists.
This is the first time such a bill has been introduced in the Congress to prevent the recognition of the Taliban.
According to Mace's statement, key provisions of the bill include prohibiting any US government entity from recognising the Taliban regime or allocating funding for that purpose.
The bill would also compel the US Department of State to designate the Taliban as a "State Sponsor of Terrorism" and a "Foreign Terrorist Organisation”.
