US EditionTrump Administration Considers Adding 36 Countries to Travel Ban List: Report
- The Trump administration on June 4 issued a presidential proclamation restricting entry from 12 countries and is considering adding 36 more nations to the travel ban list.

- The 36 countries include 25 African, four Asian, four Caribbean, and three Oceanian nations, with Bhutan, Cambodia, Kyrgyzstan, Syria, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu required to submit action plans by Wednesday 8 a.m.
- The memo states that willingness to accept third-country nationals deported from the U.S. or to enter safe third-country agreements could mitigate concerns but does not specify enforcement timing.
- These measures indicate a significant expansion of travel restrictions, reflecting ongoing concerns over vetting reliability and visa overstays, with implications for affected countries' diplomatic relations.
