The budget seeks to further the US goal of a stable South Asia by supporting the Afghan government and security forces in their fight against Taliban and jihadist organisations such as al Qaeda and ISIS.
The White House said in its proposals to the Congress: “The budget requests more than $5 billion for continued US training and assistance for the Afghan security forces,”
It would also enable US forces to conduct counterterrorism operations to ensure that the region cannot be used by jihadist terrorist groups to plot transnational attacks against the US homeland, citizens overseas or allies and partners.
