MOSCOW, November 8 (Sputnik) - The Taliban* hopes that the US, once again under the leadership of President-elect Donald Trump, will remove the movement's members from its terrorist list, Suhail Shaheen, the head of the Taliban political office in Qatar, told Sputnik on Friday.
The political office head also noted that it was during Trump's first term from 2017 to 2021 when the US and Taliban reached agreements that allowed to cease the hostilities and put an end to the US military presence in Afghanistan.
"Of course now, when the war is over and we are in a new phase, there is no point in keeping our members on this list," Shaheen said.
