President Donald Trump’s administration plans to make three lists, including 43 countries PakistanWhose citizens will be banned or will face selected sanctions from entering the United States.
Officials familiar with the matter told the New York Times that a travel ban would be greater than President Trump’s first term.
A “red” list of 11 countries is proposed in a draft list of recommendations made by diplomatic and security officials, whose citizens will be clearly prevented from entering the United States. Officials told the newspaper that they are Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.
Officers, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal considerations, warned that the list was prepared by the Foreign Ministry several weeks ago and that the changes were until the time of arrival at the White House.
US Department of State’s embassies and regional bureau officials and security experts from other departments and intelligence agencies are allegedly reviewing the draft.
The orange list
The draft proposal also includes an ‘orange’ list that will include nations whose citizens will face travel sanctions but is not a complete ban.
According to the New York Times, in these cases, rich business passengers may be allowed to enter, but not immigrants or tourists traveling on a visa.
Citizens on the Orange List personally face these interviews to obtain a visa.
The countries on the list include Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Turkmenistan.
After taking over his office on January 20, Trump issued an executive order that requires the country’s Department of State to identify the nations, for which the scrutiny and screening information is so shorter that partial or complete suspension of citizens’ entry from these countries. ‘
He gave the department a 60 -day deadline to eliminate the list.
