This was reported by The Washington Post, citing sources.

It is noted that such a possibility is being studied in Washington, but the final decision has not yet been made.

According to the newspaper, the request from the Taliban to maintain the American diplomatic presence in the United States came against the background of the movement's desire to achieve recognition of his power by the world community and "to cope with the difficult economic situation after the freeze of international aid to Afghanistan worth billions of dollars."

According to WP sources, the US is also involved in negotiations on the future management of the Kabul airport, involving representatives from the region, such as Turkey, as well as the Taliban and the private sector.

Earlier, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that the United States does not consider the Taliban friends and does not trust them.
