Trump forbids travel to the United States by citizens of twelve nations.
Haiti, Afghanistan, and Iran are prohibited, and other nations are subject to travel restrictions.
WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that people of 12 countries would not be allowed to enter the United States, while individuals from seven other nations would be subject to restrictions, reviving a key policy of his first term.
In order to prevent the mayhem that occurred at airports around the country when a similar policy went into force with almost no notice in 2017, the ban will go into effect on Monday at 12:01 a.m. With the Supreme Court siding with him, Trump, who hinted at plans for a new ban before he took office in January, seems to be in a stronger position this time.
Twelve nations were included on the list of prohibited nations during Trump's first term, albeit not all of them were. Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen are among the countries that are now prohibited.
Visitors from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela will be subject to stricter regulations.
Trump claimed that the new restriction highlighted the risks posed by certain tourists who overstay their visas and connected it to the terror attack that occurred in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday. The attack suspect hails from Egypt, which is not on Trump's list of prohibited nations. He overstayed a tourist visa, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
