Decizie surpriză: Afganistanul a oferit SUA acces la resursele sale minerale de 1 trilion de dolari doar ca să scape de sancțiuni

Afghanistan has offered the U.S. access to its rich mineral resources to lift sanctions and unlock assets, according to Financial Times. Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi emphasized the importance of future cooperation over past conflicts. The country holds mineral resources valued at over $1 trillion, largely untapped due to years of conflict. In 2022, Afghan officials expressed interest in trading minerals and other goods with Russia. The U.S. has frozen Afghan government reserves since the Taliban's return to power in 2021, amid calls for human rights compliance. The U.S. war in Afghanistan lasted 20 years, resulting in significant loss of life and financial expenditure.
