US EditionTrump's Travel Ban: New Proclamation Shakes Global Travel
- President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on June 4 that bars entry to the US from twelve countries and restricts travel from seven others, effective June 9.
- The travel restrictions follow a January 20 executive order directing agencies to report on national security risks from certain countries, building on Trump's 2017 travel ban.
- Travel restrictions fully bar entry from twelve nations, including Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Libya, among others, while partial limitations apply to travelers from seven additional countries such as Burundi, Cuba, and Venezuela.
- Trump stated, "We don't want them," and said he may lift bans if governments improve, while exemptions may be granted 'case-by-case' to athletes, dual nationals, and certain visa holders.
- The administration claims these are 'common sense restrictions' to protect Americans amid terrorism threats and poor vetting, though immigration advocates recall the 2017 'Muslim ban' and criticize the policy.
