The Trump administration is considering issuing a sweeping travel ban for citizens of dozens of countries under a new ban. The list includes a total of 41 countries divided into three different groups. The first group of 10 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba and North Korea, will be placed on the list of complete visa suspension. Others will be subject to partial ban.
Travel Ban: After the tariff trade war, US President Donald Trump is now preparing for another one. His administration has started preparations to impose a travel ban on 41 countries. This includes Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and other countries.
According to news agency Reuters, the Trump administration has made a total of 3 lists of 41 countries. The first list includes 10 countries, which include countries like Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Cuba and North Korea. Citizens of these countries will not be allowed to travel to America. There will be a complete ban on all these.
Ban on India’s neighboring countries too
The second group includes the names of East African countries Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar and South Sudan. Partial suspension will be applicable on the people of these countries. This will affect tourist and student visas as well as other immigrant visas with some exceptions.
Ban was imposed in the first term as well
- At present, this list is not final and names of some countries can be added or removed. The final decision on the list has to be taken by the Trump administration. Donald Trump had imposed a travel ban on 7 Muslim countries during his first term as well.
- Now Trump has continued this in his second term as well. Taking a tough stand on immigration, Trump had directed cabinet members to give a list of countries by March 21 from which travel should be partially or completely suspended because their investigation and screening information is very low.
