Former Afghan Vice President: U.S. Elections Won’t Shift Afghanistan Policy

Amrullah Saleh, the former vice president, noted that the Democratic Party’s victory in the United States will not alter Washington’s policies towards Afghanistan, and support for the interim government will continue.

The Impact of the Democrats’ Victory on Afghanistan Policy

Amrullah Saleh, a former vice president and critic of the interim government, recently stated that the Democratic Party’s success in the U.S. midterm elections will not lead to a shift in the country’s approach to Afghanistan.

Shadow Powers in the United States

In a statement released yesterday, he highlighted the existence of powerful and covert entities that control U.S. foreign policy, asserting that these entities will continue their financial support for the interim government. Saleh stressed that political changes in the U.S. will have no impact on the current situation in Afghanistan.

Claims Regarding Financial Assistance

The former official also claimed that in July 2026, the United States, in collaboration with Kabul officials, spent $1.6 billion on printing Afghan currency in Europe. According to Saleh, this indicates that U.S. support for the interim government persists.

Reference to Trump’s Conversations

Additionally, Saleh referenced a conversation in 2020 between Donald Trump and Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, suggesting that Trump at that time had a deal with a ‘foreign Abdul’ and is now in competition with a ‘local Abdul.’ The term refers to Mullah Baradar and Abdul Rahman Mohammedi, the new senator from Michigan.

Focus on Domestic Issues in Afghanistan

In conclusion, he emphasized that there are no new messages from Washington for opposition movements, urging Afghan citizens to concentrate on internal issues rather than awaiting political changes in the United States.
