Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Secretary of State should designate the Afghan Taliban as a foreign terrorist organization, freeze all assets of the Government of Afghanistan held in the United States, and use all authority and influence of the United States Government to prohibit the distribution of funds to the Afghan Taliban by other countries and international institutions and organizations.
Summary
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' position that the U.S. Department of State should officially designate the Afghan Taliban as a foreign terrorist organization. It calls for the freezing of all Afghan government assets held within the United States and urges the federal government to use its influence to prevent international organizations and other countries from providing funds to the Taliban regime. If implemented, these actions would legally restrict financial transactions with the group and formalize a policy of total economic isolation against the current leadership in Afghanistan.
