U.S. Congresswoman Condemns American Aid to Afghanistan as a Reflection of Biden Administration’s “Incompetence”

RASC News Agency: Claudia Tenney, a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives, has sharply criticized American aid to Afghanistan, denouncing it as “shameful” and a demonstration of the Biden administration’s “sheer incompetence.” Tenney accused President Biden of providing aid to a country “lacking the rule of law” and governed by “terrorist groups.” Tenney raised concerns over extending support to a nation she claims poses a grave threat to both its neighboring countries and the international community. She argued that these decisions not only reflect poor judgment but also underscore the administration’s inability to prioritize American interests.

 

“Why are we prioritizing a country run by the Taliban a terrorist organization over our own citizens?” Tenney stated. “One of my constituents has been unjustly imprisoned for over two years without justification, while the Biden administration continues to funnel resources to Afghanistan. This highlights the administration’s tragic folly: how can we favor aiding lawless regimes over addressing the struggles of Americans in places like North Carolina?” According to Tenney, the United States has so far allocated $21 billion to Afghanistan, a country she describes as suffering from a lack of governance and accountability.

 

Her comments reflect growing bipartisan frustration regarding U.S. humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan, especially amid ongoing reports that such aid may inadvertently benefit the Taliban and extremist groups. Recent findings from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) revealed that Taliban authorities have exploited $293 million in U.S. humanitarian aid, raising further concerns about misallocation of funds. Humanitarian organizations operating in Afghanistan have echoed these concerns, accusing the Taliban of misappropriating international aid to serve their own networks and consolidate power.

 

Meanwhile, Afghanistani citizens have repeatedly reported that humanitarian assistance is often distributed selectively to Taliban members and their affiliates, depriving those most in need. This renewed scrutiny of U.S. aid policy underscores broader questions about the efficacy and oversight of international assistance programs under the Biden administration, particularly in regions governed by extremist entities.
