Pakistan has no knowledge of US President Donald Trump administration’s proposed steps to place a new travel ban on certain countries that have deficiencies in vetting and screening processes, sources said on Sunday. Reports citing named US officials claimed that Afghanistan and Pakistan could be on the list of countries facing partial or complete ban. "We have no such information or any communication with the US administration," said an official while requesting anonymity. An official in the White House told CNN, "No decisions have been made about possible travel bans, and someone who claims otherwise does not know what they are talking about it." Meanwhile, the US Secretary of State had confirmed that it was "Makes a full review of all visa programs."

Some sources said the reports on travel ban on Pakistan could be a deliberate leak of certain elements that may not be satisfied with President Trump, who publicly praised Pakistan at his address to the US Congress. The latest report from CNN said Afghanistan could be on the list of countries facing a ban, but interestingly there was no mention of Pakistan. It said the ban could come as soon as next week, but noticed that it was unclear if the final decisions about countries and timing had been made. In a performing order on January 20, President Trump instructed cabinet members, including the Secretary of State, to compile a list of countries "For which vetting and screening information is so deficient that they justify a partial or full suspension of the admission of citizens from these countries". The executive order requires completion of the review within 60 days. "The department conducts a full review of all visa programs as stated under this eo and performs on management priorities," said the spokesman without giving further details and saying they did "Do not comment on internal considerations or communication". In his first period, Trump trumped travelers from seven Muslim majority countries from coming to the United States-a policy that saw the court’s challenges before President Joe Biden abolished it when he took office in 2021. If Afghanistan is included in the new travel ban, it could affect tens of thousands of thousands of Afghans who worked with the United States in his two annual wars, which would block, as it would block, as it would block, as Afghan Citizen from coming to us. Meanwhile, US Centcom Sunday Pakistan praised for helping the United States catch Muhammad Sharifullah, one of the most important facilitators of August 2021 Kabul Airport attack. "We are Pakistan grateful for its cooperation on the arrest of the greatest suspect, Sharifullah, as it helped bring the defendant to justice in collaboration with the United States," Read a statement posted on X by Centcom.
