What we know about the countries on Trump’s travel ban list, and how many people will be impacted
- President Donald Trump announced a travel ban on June 9, 2025, restricting entry from 19 countries at 12:01 a.m. ET in the United States.
- The ban follows prior travel restrictions from Trump's first term and targets nationals from 12 countries with full bans and seven others with partial restrictions due to security concerns and high visa overstay rates.
- Countries affected include Afghanistan, Iran, Haiti, Libya, Venezuela, Cuba, and others mainly in Africa, the Middle East, and South America, with exemptions for diplomats, athletes, and family-related visas.
- Experts warn this policy will cause serious emotional and economic harm, potentially separating families and complicating future visa applications, while green cards were issued to over 115,000 people from some banned countries in 2023.
- Legal challenges are expected and could delay outcomes, indicating the ban may have significant costs without clear improvements in national security or prosperity.
