Taliban demand $100 billion from Trump for economic loss in exchange for US arms equipment

Recently, Trump called for the Taliban to return US military equipment, worth $7 billion USD. Because of this, the Taliban has refused to accept Trump’s harsh conditions and Taliban has said that now US’s top advanced weapons will not be returned to America. In the future, the Pentagon and Trump could send military troops or pass some defense aid to Pakistan to fight and free the US arms in Afghanistan. Trump said, They will suspend all financial, econonic and business aid to Taliban. The Taliban’s need for such equipment against ISIS-K, and Pakistan has also been cited, adding a layer of complexity to the situation.

Will Trump Visit Pakistan against Taliban’s rejection of Return of US Military arms?

But now Taliban is also in trouble because Trump can visit Pakistan in future which will prove that US can get big benefit in the ongoing border fight between Pakistan and Taliban. Because in the current situation between Pakistan and the Taliban, US will get huge benefit in Refugee and Border tension but in return US will have to send Billions of USD and top advanced fighter jets to Pakistan. But on the other hand, it is also possible that if Trump sends big aid to Pakistan against the Taliban, it is also possible that Iran may also face a big blow to its security. But on the other hand, there is also pressure on Trump that if the US army again goes to Afghanistan to attack Taliban, then there can be a huge loss to the US defense. Because the US has suffered a loss of $2.313 trillion from 2001 till now, in which US had to face only defeat.

Why does the Taliban Demand $100 Billion USD compensation from the US?

Recently, reports came out that the Biden administration had sent aid worth about $500 million to Afghanistan under the guise of US, which would go directly to the Taliban. Which meant that the Democratic Party of America wanted the Taliban to give back America’s weapons and equipment by any means. But now it is believed that the Taliban completely knows how to operate and repair US weapons. Due to which it is said that Taliban has also learned that those weapons can be repaired, operated, and manufactured with the help of China and Russia. But just as Mali and Burkina Faso demanded $1Trillion from France, now the Taliban is also demanding compensation from the US for the damage caused to their country. The war in Afghanistan from 2001–2021 killed an estimated 176,000–212,000 people, including 46,319 civilians. However, the true death toll is likely higher due to indirect causes.
