There’s not too much information at present, but the EU and US appear to have banned inbound cargo from travelling on Pakistan International Airlines. The two authorities wrote to the airline, accusing it of improper freight security. PIA has now suspended its cargo service to both the US and EU, according to this report, but has accused them of discrimination, arguing that its security  complies with international standards. All three are currently in talks to try to resolve the situation.
