In an interview on Sunday, Bolton said the Taliban would be able to obtain nuclear weapons by expanding its influence into the neighboring Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan claimed to have some nuclear warheads, although its nuclear status was not recognized by the U.N. Bolton stressed key U.S. ally India could be put under pressure by the hostile Pakistan as well, along with China solidifying its ties with the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Taliban in control of Afghanistan threatens the possibility of terrorists taking control of Pakistan too and there are already a lot of radicals in the Pakistani military,\u201d he explained. \u201cIf the whole country gets taken over by terrorists that means maybe 150 nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists, which is a real threat to us and our friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Taliban are globally recognized terrorists, and they have no place in government.<\/p>\n<p>I co-sponsored <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepFranklin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepFranklin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRubioPress?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenRubioPress<\/a>&#8216; bicameral legislation, the Preventing the Recognition of Terrorists Act, to officially designate them as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Congressman Greg Steube (@RepGregSteube) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepGregSteube\/status\/1441432240789942272?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bolton also highlighted the Quad Group alliance, which is centered around India, by saying it may help the U.S. protect its security interests in South Asia.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/president-trumps-ga-rally-attracts-20k-attended-in-good-sign-for-gop\/\">President Trump\u2019s Ga.
