US EditionTrump travel ban in effect, citizens from 12 nations barred from US
- President Donald Trump's new travel restrictions targeting individuals from a dozen countries primarily located in Africa and the Middle East will begin enforcement on Monday.
- Trump connected the travel ban to the recent terrorist incident in Boulder, Colorado, highlighting concerns about visitors who remain in the U.S. Beyond their visa allowances, even though the attacker was from Egypt, a country not included in the ban.
- The ban focuses on rejecting new visa applications except narrow exemptions, while travelers with previously issued visas may still enter, and it draws criticism from refugee aid groups and affected communities.
- Trump said banned nationals pose terrorism and visa overstay risks due to deficient vetting, while Abby Maxman, Oxfam America president, called the policy divisive and not about security.
- The ban escalates tensions amid Trump's unprecedented immigration enforcement campaign and drew condemnation from Venezuela, which called it a stigmatization campaign against its citizens.
