Reimbursing, though, I'm not a fan of this, I don't think it is a big deal to pay for the food and hotel room of the negotiators. Isn't what this is about?
Anyway, the great persecutors of Christians and other groups, that being ISIS was achieved under Trump, someone could say genocide was stopped.
@Chosen Daughter is no part of that if she didn't vote for Trump as she is always saying. She abandoned those Christians so, in posting this, she shows, she just likes to go after Trump if she finds something negative on him.
Sorry, you abandoned Christians in Syria/Iraq if you didn't vote for Trump, maybe your taxpayer dollars helped the effort but this is the situation.
As said, I think we are talking about paying room and board for these negotiators, otherwise, they wouldn't have shown up.
Who thinks the Taliban doesn't have money to pay for their own food and hotel rooms? If they can't pay for that then I would say they are not that interested in peace. They aren't. Its a non starter if you read the articles . This is money Trump is willing to give to terrorists who have absolutely no commitment to peace.
The Pentagon’s request to funnel U.S. funds to the Taliban “would implicate provisions of law concerning material support to terrorists, the Taliban’s ongoing offensive operations against U.S. service members, and their continuing lack of acknowledgement of the government of Afghanistan or the rights of women in Afghan society,†said Spicer.

Consequently, Visclosky’s panel approved on Wednesday a $690.2 billion Defense spending bill for fiscal 2020 that bars any funds for reimbursing the Taliban.
Life imitating ‘The Onion’
Under the request, however, the U.S. government would funnel funds to a violent group that once harbored Osama bin Laden — a fighting force that U.S. troops have been combating for more than 18 years.
The Taliban is a well-funded organization, too. And much of its money has been earned from a drug trade that is killing record numbers of Americans. The group may net at least $800 million a year from opium trafficking and related activities.
