It could be Trump seeking to have the Taliban return military equipment left behind in Afghanistan? One of his election promises.

“If we’re going to pay billions of dollars a year, tell them we’re not going to give them the money unless they give back our military equipment,” Trump said, referring to humanitarian aid. “So, we will give them a couple of bucks; we want the military equipment back.”

From January 2025.
