A Taliban official mocked American political dynamics, expressing their surprise over the U.S. reluctance to elect a female leader as president while saying the country was "not ready" for a woman in power.
After Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, the Taliban shared hopes of restoring relations with the U.S. considering its resistance to elect Vice President Kamala Harris, a woman, into power, Barron's reported.
"Americans are not ready to hand over the leadership of their great country to a woman," Inamullah Samangani, head of the information and culture department in Kandahar, said in a post to X.
The Taliban's comments about women have long sparked widespread criticism, especially from women's rights advocates.
