U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation banning citizens of 12 countries from entering the U.S., citing security threats. The order takes effect on June 9 and will not affect visas issued before that date.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a sweeping travel restriction targeting citizens of 12 countries, asserting that the measure is necessary to protect the United States from potential terrorist threats and other security risks.
The countries now facing a complete entry ban include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Additionally, the entry of nationals from seven more countries - Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela - will be subject to partial restrictions.
In a statement issued from the White House, Trump emphasized that the list remains fluid and may be revised depending on whether affected countries demonstrate “material improvements” in areas such as information-sharing, border security, and counterterrorism cooperation. “Likewise, new countries can be added as threats emerge around the world,” he added.
The new rules will come into force on June 9. According to the proclamation, visas already issued to individuals from the listed countries will remain valid and will not be revoked.
