KARACHI: Pakistan is unlikely to be included in the list of new expected US travel restrictions, it has been learnt.
A final announcement in this regard is expected on March 13, with 12 countries likely to remain under the travel ban. However, Pakistani diplomatic staff and leading figures in the United States are optimistic that Pakistan would not be included in the new list for restriction to enter the US.
Diplomatic sources on the condition of anonymity said that the Indian-American lobby had been very actively involved in making toxic propaganda against Pakistan. Moreover, a group of Pakistani-American doctors was also allegedly conspiring.
Recently, after the arrest and extradition of a dangerous terrorist wanted by the United States in Pakistan, there has been a lot of closeness between the Trump administration and the Pakistani establishment.
According to sources, the list of travel restrictions was the most discussed in recent communication between the Pakistani establishment and the Trump administration.
According to diplomatic sources, the Trump administration is expected to take a decision regarding the easing of US travel restrictions on Pakistani citizens.
According to the policy of the Trump administration, women arriving in the United States for childbirth from Pakistan in the future will be strictly screened at American airports and such cases will be discouraged.
In addition, a new travel advisory is likely to be issued for airlines flying from Pakistan to the United States.
