President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a major expansion of his travel restrictions, adding 20 more countries to the list of nations facing partial or total bans from entering the United States.
Among the nations now fully restricted are Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria, the Associated Press reported. Additionally, anyone traveling with documents issued by the Palestinian Authority is now subject to new limitations.
Trump also imposed partial restrictions on 15 other countries, including Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Ivory Coast, Dominica, Gabon, Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. These measures apply to both travel and potential immigration.
A White House fact sheet emphasized that Tuesday’s proclamation continues Trump’s existing bans on countries such as Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Partial restrictions remain for citizens of Cuba, Togo, and Venezuela, while Laos and Sierra Leone, previously partially restricted, now face full bans.
