US EditionTrump Adds 7 Countries to Full Travel Ban List | Honolulu Star-Advertiser
The expanded travel ban targets six regions including Palestinians on PA documents, citing security risks and compromised vetting amid ongoing conflicts, the White House said.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump expanded the U.S. travel ban to Palestine via PA travel documents, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria; the White House said the ban takes effect on January 1.
- The White House said recent war disruptions likely compromised vetting, officials argued weak PA control hinders screening of PA-issued documents, and cited U.S.-designated terrorist groups in the West Bank and Gaza.
- The rules cover an expansion of the travel ban to seven additional countries, including Syria, while maintaining the original 12-country restriction and applying to immigrants and non-immigrants.
- The move immediately marks a further escalation after the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., and complicates rapprochement with Syria following President Ahmed al-Sharaa's visit, the White House said.
- By avoiding the name Palestine, the decree targets individuals using PA-issued travel documents amid ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza and the West Bank, where Israeli settlers killed at least two U.S. citizens this year.
