US EditionTrump's Travel Ban: New Proclamation Shakes Global Travel
- On Wednesday night in Washington, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation banning entry to the US from 12 countries effective Monday, June 9.
- This proclamation follows Trump's January 20 executive order directing agencies to report on national security risks from certain countries, reviving his first-term travel ban.
- The ban blocks new visas and green cards from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, and others, while adding heightened restrictions on seven additional countries including Cuba and Venezuela.
- Trump stated that he was compelled to take measures to safeguard the United States and its citizens, connecting the travel restrictions to concerns about visa overstays highlighted by the Boulder attack.
- The ban exempts current visa holders, dual nationals, and athletes, though immigration advocates condemned it, and Trump said he would lift bans if countries improve vetting.
