Summary of Bill S 226
The bill aims to address the ongoing issue of external support that the Taliban receives, which enables them to continue their activities and pose a threat to stability and security in Afghanistan and the region. By requiring a comprehensive strategy to oppose this support, the bill seeks to weaken the Taliban's capabilities and disrupt their operations.
In addition to addressing foreign support to the Taliban, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to countering terrorism and promoting stability in the region. These additional measures are intended to complement the strategy to oppose Taliban support and contribute to overall efforts to combat terrorism and promote peace and security. Overall, Bill 119 s 226 represents a bipartisan effort in Congress to address the complex challenges posed by the Taliban and their external supporters. If passed, this legislation could have significant implications for US foreign policy and national security efforts in the region.

I'm all for this bill. It's about time we put a stop to foreign countries and NGOs supporting the Taliban. It's just not right. #UnitedStatesSBill226 #StopTalibanSupport
