US EditionTrump Administration Weighs in on Adding 36 Additional Countries to Travel Ban
- On June 16, 2025, President Donald Trump spoke on Air Force One about potentially expanding U.S. travel bans to 36 additional countries, mostly in Africa.
- The expansion follows a proclamation earlier this month banning entry from 12 countries and stems from concerns over visa overstays, terrorism, and inadequate cooperation.
- A State Department cable signed by Secretary Marco Rubio outlined a dozen concerns and gave these 36 countries 60 days to meet security benchmarks or face full or partial bans.
- State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said the administration will allow time for countries to prove they can modernize systems and meet U.S. standards to be trusted.
- Failure to address these concerns could significantly expand current travel restrictions, further straining relations with entities like the African Union, which has voiced deep concern.
