Trump Imposes Travel Ban on Citizens of 41 Countries

The administration led by President Donald Trump is preparing to impose travel restrictions on citizens from 41 countries, according to government documents cited by Reuters.

The proposed ban categorizes these countries into three groups:

Full Ban (10 Countries):

Citizens from Afghanistan, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen will face a complete ban. They will not be eligible to apply for any U.S. visas.

Partial Ban (5 Countries):

Citizens from Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, and South Sudan will be restricted from applying for most visa categories, except for student and tourist visas.

Conditional Restrictions (26 Countries):

Countries in this group include Angola, Antigua & Barbuda, Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Belarus, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Cape Verde, Cambodia, Cameroon, Chad, DR Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Dominica, Gambia, Liberia, Republic of Congo, Malawi, Mauritania, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, São Tomé & Príncipe, Sierra Leone, East Timor, and Vanuatu.

These 26 countries have been given 60 days to meet specific conditions set by the U.S. administration. If they fail to comply, either full or partial travel restrictions will be imposed on their citizens.

Background:

On January 20, during his inauguration, President Trump signed several executive orders, including measures to enhance background checks on foreign nationals entering the U.S.

Trump had previously imposed a travel ban in 2018, targeting seven Muslim-majority countries. That ban was later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Reuters reached out to the U.S. State Department for comments, but no officials were available for a statement.
