The White House on Wednesday hinted that Pakistan may be included in the travel ban list that was imposed on seven other countries, NDTV reported.
Maybe we will (put a ban on Pakistan). The bottom line is, we started with the seven countries that have previously been identified and did a 90-day review. Maybe during that 90-day review we find other countries or we take someone off or whatever. But it is a review process.Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary
“Now you can point to other countries that have similar problems, like Pakistan and others. Perhaps, we need to take it further. But for now, immediate steps, pulling the band-aid off, is to do further vetting for people travelling in and out of those countries," the White House official added.
US President Donald Trump signed an executive order placing an immigration ban on Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Libya. But he insisted that this was “not a Musilm ban”.
But on Twitter, he said that the ban is meant to keep the “bad people” with “bad intentions” out of America.
