It is the policy of the United States— to continue to recognize the democratically elected government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as the legitimate Government of Afghanistan; to not recognize the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which is controlled by the Taliban, as the official Government of Afghanistan under any circumstances; to view the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan as a coup d’état and therefore illegitimate; to recognize that individuals designated as terrorists by the United States, such as Sirajuddin Haqqani, will play a key role in the Taliban regime; and to continue to assist the people of Afghanistan, especially people at risk as a result of their activities, beliefs, religion, or political views.
