The US State Department announced the closure of the US embassy in Kabul due to financial problems.
According to the statement, Washington has given Afghan diplomats working at the embassy 30 days to stay in the United States on humanitarian visas, otherwise they will be deported.
Meanwhile, US officials have announced that these politicians will not be sent to Afghanistan, but their destination is still unknown.
The State Department also rejected the residency applications of a number of Afghan embassy staff.
Following the fall of Kabul, the United States imposed sanctions on Afghanistan and blocked the bank accounts of the Afghan embassy in Afghanistan. The embassy staff did not receive their salaries for months due to sanctions imposed on the Taliban and suffered from many living problems.
The State Department has said it will not accept the presence of any Afghan diplomats until the Taliban-led government is recognized by the world.
The Taliban, however, have not yet commented on the US decision.
