US EditionTrump's Travel Ban: New Proclamation Shakes Global Travel
- President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday night banning entry to the US for citizens of twelve specified countries effective 12:01 a.m. Monday, June 9.
- The proclamation follows a January 20 executive order directing review of entry risks and stems from concerns about poor vetting and terrorism threats tied to these countries.
- The ban imposes a complete travel restriction on citizens from twelve countries—including Iran, Libya, Yemen, and several African nations—while implementing limited entry controls on individuals from an additional seven countries.
- Trump stated that he needs to take measures to safeguard the United States and its citizens, describing the restrictions as reasonable controls aimed at countries with inadequate screening processes or high rates of visa overstays.
- The proclamation may exempt athletes, dual citizens, and some visa holders, with case-by-case waivers possible, while immigration advocates condemned the new restrictions as echoing the 2017 ban.
