"There is no reason for any country in the world to recognize the Taliban at this stage. The US will talk with those who disagree with the Taliban's rule on Afghanistan," said Bolton.
It comes as the Taliban's interim set-up is yet to be recognized and the move now seems difficult and far after the United Nations General Assembly delayed a seat for the Taliban and confirmed Afghanistan's former permanent representative Ghulam Muhammad Ishaqzai Permanent Representative of the country.
