New bill would prohibit US financial aid to Afghanistan until wrongfully detained Americans are released
Fox News
Pennsylvania Congressman Daniel Meuser is putting forth the No Funding Without Freedom Act, which would prohibit U.S. aid to Afghanistan while Americans are wrongfully detained there.
Rep. Dan Meuser, a Pennsylvania Republican whose constituent Ryan Corbett is among those detained in the Taliban-controlled country, said the bill will cut off the billions transferred to Kabul since the "disastrous" 2021 withdrawal. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Corbett, a native of Meuser’s district, worked with "Bloom Afghanistan," a humanitarian organization. He was detained in August 2022 and is reportedly in declining health. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
