Pakistan seeks clarity as US mulls restrictions on entry

The Pakistani government is seeking clarification following reports that the United States is considering reinstating travel restrictions that could affect Pakistani nationals. According to sources, a potential new travel ban by President Donald Trump may bar individuals from Afghanistan and Pakistan from entering the U.S. starting next week.

The proposed ban could impact tens of thousands of Afghans who were cleared for resettlement in the U.S. due to their work with U.S. forces during the 20-year war.

This development has raised concerns in Pakistan, prompting officials to seek clarity on the specifics of the proposed restrictions and their potential implications for Pakistani citizens. The situation underscores the need for clear communication between the U.S. and Pakistan to address any uncertainties and mitigate potential impacts on bilateral relations.
