Trump Administration Drafts Proposal for Expanded Travel Ban Targeting Over 40 Countries

The proposed multi-tiered system includes full bans, partial restrictions, and warnings for nations with insufficient security protocols.

The Trump administration is considering a new travel ban targeting 43 countries, expanding on policies implemented during his first presidency.
The draft plan categorizes countries into three groups: full visa bans, partial restrictions, and a warning tier for nations needing to improve security measures.
Countries facing full bans include Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
Partial restrictions would apply to countries like Eritrea, Haiti, and Myanmar, limiting certain visa types such as tourist and student visas.
A third group of 22 countries, including Angola and Pakistan, may avoid restrictions if they address deficiencies in their vetting and screening processes within a set timeframe.
