A senior aide to U.S. President Joe Biden has hinted that the Taliban could face financial consequences for human rights violations. In his first broadcast interview since his appointment last year, Rob Berschinski, special assistant to the president, said, "We're going to hold them to their word" on human rights pledges made during talks on the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Berschinski, who is also senior director for human rights on the National Security Council, spoke to RFE/RL's Ray Furlong in Prague on August 31.
