Trump’s ‘Third World’ Migration Ban: What It Means, Which Countries Are Included and Where Does India Stand? Explained

Trump plans to halt migration from all Third World countries and end federal benefits for non-citizens after a shooting by an Afghan national admitted in 2021, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump announced plans to pause migration from all 'Third World Countries' after a shooting near the White House, including cases approved under former President Joe Biden.
  • On Wednesday, investigators said the shooting was carried out by an Afghan national who entered the United States in 2021 under a resettlement program, prompting an escalation of US migration measures by Trump.
  • President Donald Trump outlined policy steps that would end US federal benefits and subsidies for non-citizens, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport those deemed security risks or `Non-compatible with Western civilization`.
  • United Nations agencies appealed to the United States to continue asylum access, with Jeremy Laurence saying they are `entitled to protection under international law, and that should be given due process`; Reuters reported no immediate White House or USCIS response.
  • Unclear definitions of 'Third World Countries' and 'permanently pause' complicate implementation, as Trump did not specify which countries or clarify the scope after Wednesday's shooting.
