INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The White House has responded to US President-elect Donald Trump&s claim that billions of dollars have been sent to the Islamic
Emirate-controlled Afghanistan, saying that aid is being sent to the people of the country, not the Islamic Emirate.It&s not even believable
Billions of dollars, not millions—billions,& Trump said earlier this week, adding, &We pay billions of dollars to essentially the Taliban
And that&s given by Biden.But White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told the Voice of America that the humanitarian aid
sent to Afghanistan is going to the Afghan people, not the IEA.Earlier, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) strongly rejected claims by
Donald Trump that the ruling government is receiving &billions of dollars& from the United States.Hamdullah Fitrat, the IEA&s deputy
spokesman said: &The claims of billions and millions of dollars of aid to the Islamic Emirate from the US side are completely false and we
strongly reject them.The post US sending aid to Afghan people, not IEA: White House first appeared on Ariana News.
