WASHINGTON: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday warned the Trump administration against including his country in the list of travel ban nations, saying such a move will create a “host of hostilities” between the two countries.
Bilawal’s remarks came as the White House is seeking to expand the list of seven Muslim-majority countries whose citizens have been barred from entering the US.
“As far as the ban is concerned, I believe it only has detrimental effects on the countries it has included and if that is extended to Pakistan it will create a whole host of hostilities,” Bilawal told a Washington audience while speaking at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) on Monday.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was responding to a question on whether Pakistan can be included in a list of seven nations as per an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump last week. INP
