Saeed Khosty, advisor to the Taliban’s Ministry of Information and Culture, has sharply criticized Donald Trump, calling US policies “bullying.”
He condemned Trump for “shamelessly” boasting about seizing billions of dollars worth of Venezuelan oil.
In a social media post, Khosty argued that kidnapping a nation’s leader solely for oil violates all international ethics and laws.
He asserted that in the face of such aggression, military preparedness and acquiring weaponry become a “mandatory duty” for nations.
This statement reflects the Taliban’s continued anti-Western rhetoric. Khosty framed the US actions not as legal enforcement, but as the lawlessness of great powers, urging a stance of strength against foreign intervention.
