Thomas Shannon said.
Thomas Shannon, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, US Department of State said that the United States has been forced to take such steps to impose similar restrictions on US diplomats appointed in Pakistan. He said such restrictions are generally counterterrorism. We kept it at that stage. Asked whether President Donald Trump's administration had informed Pakistan, the senior official said, "Our diplomats are in the travel restrictions." They can go even further, but it has to be told to the Pakistan government. "Shannon said such arrangements in diplomacy are very common. He rather emphasized the continuous involvement between the two countries. He said that we had a very important dialogue with the Pakistani government about the internal affairs of Afghanistan. We can hope that through this, we can reach a larger understanding. The Trump administration has recently notified Pakistan, diplomats of their embassies and other city conventions in Washington cannot travel more than 40 kilometers away from their office without permission. Diplomats must apply for permission at least five days in advance to go beyond the distance. Islamabad has already imposed such restrictions on US diplomats stationed in Pakistan.
