The administration of US President Donald Trump has stopped the process of issuing immigrant visas to citizens of 75 countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Iran, Iraq and Russia. Regarding this, Islamabad expressed hope that America will soon restart the immigrant visa process for its citizens. This step of America is part of efforts to crack down on such immigrants who can become a burden on the government.
Pakistan’s reaction on America’s action
According to the report of news agency PTI, Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said, ‘We are in touch with American officials to gather further information. We understand that this is an internal process to review US immigration policy. We hope that the regular process of immigrant visas will resume soon.
The US State Department posted on social media platform X saying, ‘The US State Department will not issue immigrant visas for those 75 countries whose immigrants abuse the welfare programs of the American people. This ban will remain in place until America ensures that new immigrants will not exploit the wealth resources of the American people.
How long will there be a pause on the immigrant visa process?
The White House said, ‘The Trump administration will stop the processing of immigrant visas coming from 75 countries until the United States ensures that the incoming immigrants will not become a burden on the public or extort money from American taxpayers.’ The ban has affected many countries, including Somalia, Haiti, Iran and Eritrea, whose immigrants often become a burden on the government when they reach the US. The statement said, ‘We are working to ensure that the generosity of the American people is no longer misused. The Trump administration will always put America first.
Shahbaz-Munir now holding feet after shaking hands with Trump
This step of America is a slap for Pakistan, because after Operation Sindoor, Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir met Donald Trump and made big boasts in front of their people. Munir had tried to show the world by meeting Trump several times that Pakistan’s relations with America are very good, but now with this step Pakistan has been exposed. Shahbaz Sharif even nominated Trump’s name for the Nobel Peace Prize, but the US President just shook hands with him in return.
