— 🇺🇸/🇦🇫 NEW: President Donald Trump has instructed his Secretary of Defense, Pete Hagseth, to study the feasibility of returning American-made military equipment left behind in Afghanistan, including buying it back

Official estimates have about 7 billion dollars worth of equipment that was left behind by U.S. forces, though this number may not include U.S. made equipment that belonged to the former Afghan National Army (ANA).

The Taliban-led government of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has in the past refused to consider returning the equipment.
