What Trump's proposed travel ban for 43 countries means for travellers after he sends stark 60-day warning

Donald Trump’s administration is considering sweeping travel restrictions for people across the globe in a shocking move.

Donald Trump has repeatedly said he would be tough on immigration if he was elected back into office and the POTUS is making it clear he is determined to crack down on it.

Trump and his administration have compiled a list of 43 countries that could see restrictions in some form or another.

The countries listed in three separate groups and their restrictions vary between each.

A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity said that there could come changes in the list and reiterated that the list has not yet been approved by the administration, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The list of countries that could be banned in full:

All travel banned:

Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.

Those on the ‘all travel banned’ list would be set for a full visa suspension.

Visas sharply restricted:

Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan.

For those on the second group, they can expect partial suspensions that would impact tourist and student visas as well as other immigrant visas however there could be some exceptions.

Countries that have 60 days to address concerns:

Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Vanuatu, and Zimbabwe.

The third group would be considered for a partial suspension of U.S. visa issuance if their governments ‘do not make efforts to address deficiencies within 60 days’ according to the memo.

It was also reported that the majority of the countries are Muslim-majority, poor, and are considered corrupt.

The list is said to have been created weeks ago by the State Department and it has been reviewed by embassies and regional bureaus.

The move by the administration harkens back to a move made by Trump in his first term as president where he put a ban on travelers from seven majority-Muslim nations, a policy that went through several iterations before it was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018.

Earlier this year, Trump issued an executive order requiring intensified security vetting of any foreigners seeking admission to the U.S. to detect national security threats.
