Trump administration mulls new travel ban that could hit dozens of nations | Donald Trump News

According to a New York Times report, at least 40 countries could affect the travel ban.

According to the New York Times, the administration of the United States President Donald Trump is abolishing a new travel ban, which is expected to affect citizens of dozens of countries to various degrees.

Regarding anonymous officials, a report published on Friday said that the US government’s draft list includes 43 countries, dividing three types of travel restrictions.

The first group of 10 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba and North Korea, will be appointed for a full visa suspension.

In the second group, five countries – Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar and South Sudan – will face partial suspension, which will affect tourists and students’ visas as well as other immigrants visas, which will have some exemptions.

The draft memo said, in the third group, a total of 26 countries, including Belarus, Pakistan and Turkmenistan, will be considered for partial suspension if their governments do not “try to remove the shortcomings” within 60 days.

An American official told the Reuters News Agency on condition of anonymity that changes could be made in the list and was still approved by the administration, including the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Trump issued an executive order January 20, which requires a speedy examination of the security of any foreigners seeking entry into the United States to detect national security threats.

The order has directed several cabinet members to present a list of countries by March 21, where travel should be partially or completely suspended because their “testing and screening information is so lacking”.

The US president’s direction is part of the immigration crackdown he started at the beginning of his second term. He predicted his plan in the October 2023 speech, and promised that people promise to limit the Gaza Strip, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and “anywhere that our security is in danger”.

However, the latest travel ban proposal returns to Trump’s first -term ban on passengers from Muslim -majority countries, a policy that goes through several repetitions before being retained by the Supreme Court in 2018.

The ban targeted citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen and incited international anger and domestic court decisions against it. Iraq and Sudan were later removed from the list, but in 2018, the Supreme Court upheld the after -version of other countries as well as the ban on North Korea and Venezuela.
