Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is introducing a new bill aimed at forcing the Biden administration to designate the Taliban as a foreign terrorist organization.
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., has introduced a bill that would force the Biden administration to designate the Taliban as a foreign terrorist organization . 'Freedom and justice demand we reject tyranny and oppression in all forms. Our bill ensures America never recognizes the Taliban's terror-driven regime,' Mace told Fox News Digital.
Earlier this year, a new United Nations report accused the Taliban of giving support to the TTP, which the report called the 'largest terrorist group' in Afghanistan, according to Voice of America. It also accused the Taliban of supporting the group's attacks on Pakistan, which shares a border with Afghanistan. 'The Taliban have proved unable or unwilling to manage the threat from Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan, whose attacks into Pakistan have intensified,' the report said.
Mace's bill would also stop the U.S. government from ever recognizing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as a legitimate government, which it currently does not, and instead label it a state sponsor of terrorism. The legislation is the House of Representatives' counterpart to a bill introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., late last year. Rubio said at the time that designating the Taliban as an FTO was a 'logical step.
Mace's bill comes as Republicans, including GOP presidential nominee former President Donald Trump, work to tie Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris to President Biden's most high-profile foreign policy blunders, including the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Mace is a top Trump ally, and his endorsement helped her sail to a landslide primary victory in what was anticipated to be a tough re-election fight. The GOP has seized on Harris' admission that she was the 'last person in the room' when Biden made the consequential decision to withdraw from Afghanistan.
