A new full-scale travel ban announced by the Trump administration is sparking widespread outrage after leaving Pakistan off the list. The move comes in response to a pro-Israel attack in Colorado allegedly involving an Egyptian national. The ban now targets nations like Iran, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia, with partial restrictions on Venezuela, Cuba, Togo, and Burundi. The White House defended the list, claiming these countries failed vetting standards and posed national security threats. Trump doubled down, calling it a 'national security necessity' in a televised Oval Office address. But social media exploded with the question: 'Why isn't Pakistan on the list?' Netizens mocked the omission, with trends like 'Taliban's Abba Escapes Ban' going viral, accusing Trump of selective targeting and reigniting comparisons to his 2017 Muslim Ban.
