The US President is tightening his immigration policies. Donald Trump is preparing to impose a travel ban on people from 43 countries, while others will face significantly restricted access to the US.
As part of his ongoing efforts to crack down on immigration, Trump is now targeting visitation to the country.
Having already deported a large number of individuals—including a 10-year-old girl recovering from brain cancer surgery—his latest move includes banning, restricting, and giving certain countries a 60-day deadline to address concerns before facing further restrictions.
The immigration proposals were announced shortly after Trump confirmed on his social media platform, Truth Social, that he had a “good” conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The discussion raised the possibility of a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, following the ongoing three-year conflict.
This new order places key allies of Moscow under sanctions, along with several other nations experiencing conflict.
In addition to those who are banned or facing restrictions, some governments have been given 60 days to address specific issues, or they will remain on the list.
The countries have been categorized into three groups:
1. Nations facing a complete travel ban: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
2. Nations facing severe visa restrictions: Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan.
3. Nations with 60 days to comply or face restrictions: Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Vanuatu, and Zimbabwe.
