President Donald J. Trump has signed a Proclamation aimed at protecting the United States from potential foreign terrorist threats and other national security concerns. The Proclamation introduces restrictions on the entry of foreign nationals, targeting specific countries deemed to pose a threat to national safety.
The new measures are described as "necessary to garner cooperation from foreign governments, enforce our immigration laws, and advance other important foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives." The move is part of President Trump's commitment to "restore the travel ban and secure our borders."
Countries facing a full suspension of entry into the United States include Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Additionally, partial suspensions apply to certain visa categories for individuals from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.
These actions reflect ongoing efforts by the administration to address perceived risks related to terrorism and public safety.
