terminated by the US.
Afghanistan
U.S. President Joe Biden has terminated the designation of Afghanistan as a major non-NATO ally, more than a year
after the Taliban captured power in Kabul. In 2012, the United States named Afghanistan a major non-NATO (MNNA)
ally, which cleared the way for the two countries to maintain a defence and economic relationship. The designation
gave several facilities and concessions to Afghanistan in terms of defence and security-related assistance and
equipment. The MNNA status was first created in 1987. With Afghanistan's status rescinded, the U.S. will have 18
major non-NATO allies, according to the State Department. They are Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia,
Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Qatar, South Korea, Thailand and
Tunisia. Taiwan is treated as an MNNA, without formal designation as such, according to the State Department. Early
this month, Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna tabled a resolution in the House of Representatives to designate
India as a major non-NATO ally.
