President Joe Biden’s decision to effectively seize the Afghan central bank’s funds in the United States and repurpose half of the money as compensation to the victims of the 9/11 attacks has drawn rebuke and accusations of “theft” against Washington.
Biden issued an executive order on Friday that would split $7.1bn belonging to Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) almost evenly between humanitarian assistance to the struggling country and funds to cover judgements from lawsuits that 9/11 victims and their families had filed against the Taliban in US courts.

WTF is the matter with the man ? The Taliban won. The US withdrawal was a PR and humanitarian disaster.
The Taliban have little idea of government and Afghans are in a desperate plight. Give to Afghans that which belongs to Afghanistan, you miserable old vengeful bastard.
