No More Taxpayer Cash for the Taliban Act

HR 9757, the "No More Taxpayer Cash for the Taliban Act," bans U.S. federal funds from being used for direct cash assistance to individuals in Afghanistan or for providing U.S. currency to the United Nations to support such aid. The bill specifically prohibits federal agencies from funding direct cash payments to Afghans and stops the Federal Reserve from selling U.S. currency to the UN for this purpose. It aims to prevent billions of taxpayer dollars (as reported by SIGAR) from indirectly funding the Taliban through mechanisms like aid taxation and currency exchange fees at the Taliban-controlled central bank. The law applies directly to federal departments, the UN, and non-governmental organizations receiving U.S. funds for aid in Afghanistan.
