US EditionTrump expands travel ban, adding 5 more countries and imposing new limits on others
The expanded ban now affects 27 countries and Palestinian Authority passport holders, citing national security and visa overstay concerns, with exemptions for certain visa categories and residents.
- President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday a proclamation expanding the US travel ban, including Palestinian Authority travel document holders, effective Jan. 1.
- Citing weak vetting and record-keeping, officials noted unreliable documents, high visa overstays, and said restrictions stay until affected countries show `credible improvements` with U.S. immigration authorities.
- Newly listed countries include Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Syria, Laos, and Sierra Leone, raising total bans to 19 and partial restrictions to 15.
- Most travelers from the fully banned countries are expected to be denied entry, and those with tickets should consult airlines and U.S. embassies and consulates; exemptions cover lawful permanent residents, diplomats, athletes and national-interest waivers.
- The move continues the stricter immigration framework that was a hallmark of President Donald Trump's first term, follows an Afghan national arrested over the Thanksgiving period, and recalls a 2017 policy upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
