During her briefing on Wednesday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki attempted to deny that the White House is close to recognizing the Taliban as a legitimate international authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, no one in this administration, not the president nor anyone on the National Security team, would suggest that the Taliban are respected and valued members of the global community,\u201d she asserted. \u201cThey have not earned that in any way and we are not, we have never assessed that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the same answer, however, Psaki explained to the bewilderment of the Press Corps that the U.S. government is indeed engaging with the group despite the fact the new Taliban government includes wanted terrorists. This includes their new Acting Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, leader of the Haqqani network, who\u2019s wanted for a bombing that killed six people, including an American. Haqqani is also believed to have participated in cross-border attacks against U.S. troops.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re working to do is to engage with them because they oversee and control Afghanistan right now,\u201d she stated. \u201cTo get American citizens, legal, permanent residents, SIV applicants out of Afghanistan, we have to engage with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in Germany, Secretary of State Antony Blinken also attempted to downplay any efforts made by the U.S. to engage with the terrorist group. He claimed any international legitimacy or any support from the U.S. would have to be earned by the Taliban. Blinken went into further detail about a problem the administration is having despite \u201cengagement\u201d efforts.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken: \u201cThe Taliban are not permitting the charter flights to depart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These flights include American citizens. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HbJVMAsFHt\">pic.twitter.com\/HbJVMAsFHt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1435650063435509764?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While the administration continues to try and downplay the decision to deal with one of the world\u2019s most prominent terrorist groups, they have yet to explain how they plan to deal with a government made up of terrorists that were released from U.S. custody by the last Democrat to occupy the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/group-of-veterans-plan-afghan-rescue-mission\/\">Group Of Veterans Plan Afghan Rescue Mission<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White House press secretary Jen Psaki speaks during the daily briefing at the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021.
