Pakistan travel ban threat looms as Donald Trump’s administration considers broader restrictions on 41 nations. Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bhutan are among those facing potential US visa suspensions over security concerns. A draft report suggests that Islamabad must address deficiencies within 60 days to avoid partial restrictions. Ten nations, including Iran, North Korea, and Syria, face a full visa suspension. The Pakistani Foreign Ministry dismissed the reports as speculative. Meanwhile, a Pakistani diplomat was recently denied entry into the US, adding tension to the situation.

India has approved its biggest-ever defense deal, worth $7.3 billion, to procure 156 Light Combat Helicopters (LCH) for the Indian Army and Air Force. These helicopters, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), are equipped to operate in extreme conditions, making them ideal for deployment in sensitive areas like the Siachen glacier and Eastern Ladakh. With advanced features such as the ability to take off and land at altitudes of 5,000 meters, these helicopters will significantly enhance India's military capabilities in the face of regional threats, particularly from China and Pakistan.
