ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has criticised United States (US) President Donald Trump for his executive order to ban entry of the citizens of seven Muslim cou
ntries in the United States.
In his message on twitter on Saturday, Imran Khan termed Trump’s new policies as ‘racist and anti-Muslim’.
Imran also condemned US’ new sanctions on Iran, saying that “Trump’s racist and anti-Muslim policies and his sanctions on Iran are not only counterproductive for USA but a threat to peace partic
ularly in our region.”
Through an executive order, the US president slapped a ban on the entry of citizens of seven Muslim cou
ntries including; Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The US also slapped fresh sanctions on Iran on Friday to punish Tehran
for recent ballistic missile tests and its support for Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
The first sanctions against Iran by the Trump administration targeted companies and individuals in Iran and China id
entified by the United States as supporting Tehran´s ballistic missile program and the Revolutio
nary Guards military force.
