after weeks of speculation the Trump Administration is prepping to roll out a sweeping series of travel restrictions targeting citizens from 43 countries including Pakistan Afghanistan and Bhutan according to the New York Times these new restrictions are expected to be more far-reaching than those imposed during Trump’s first term marking a significant shift in US immigration policy so what is this travel ban all about which are the countries in the list we explain it all began on the 20th of January the day of Trump’s inauguration when he signed an executive order calling for a review of countries with insufficient vetting and screening processes this directive tasked the cabinet members including the secretary of state with compiling a list of countries where National Security could be a risk due to

lacks information sharing or other vulnerabilities Trump said the goal was to protect US citizens from Aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks threaten our national security espouse hateful ideology or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes now as a 60-day deadline to submit a report to the White House approaches we have a clearer picture of what’s on the table the New York Times has obtained a draft list of the travel restrictions which is divided into three main
categories the red list the orange list and the yellow list countries on the Red List will see a complete ban on travel to the US this includes some of the usual suspects from Trump’s previous policies like
Afghanistan Libya North Korea Syria and Yemen but it it also extends to others such as Bhutan Cuba
Iran Venezuela and Sudan now moving on to the orange list it doesn’t impose a full travel ban but does significantly limit access while wealthy business Travelers might still be allowed to enter immigrant or tourist visas won’t be issued and citizens will face mandatory in-person interviews
before entering the United States countries on this list include Bellis erria Haiti Myanmar Russia Pakistan and South Sudan and finally the yellow list it’s a bit of a warning Zone it includes 22
countries that will have 60 days to fix the issues flagged by the the United States if they don’t they could face harsher restrictions the concerns revolve around problems like failing to share information about Travelers weak passport security practices or the troubling issue of countries selling citizenship to people from banned Nations thus creating a loophole around the system countries on the yellow list
include Angola Cambodia Mali Zimbabwe and Vanuatu among others the clock is ticking and these countries will need to demonstrate Improvement to avoid being moved to the red or orange lists these new proposed travel restrictions are not just an extension of the Muslim ban that Trump introduced
during his first term though they have some similar elements the original bands targeted Muslim majority countries along with several low-income Nations especially those in Africa the policies evolved over time facing legal challenges that delayed their implementation but in 2018 the Supreme
Court upheld a version of the ban which remained in place until President Biden took office in 2021
one of his first actions was to resend these banss and revert to A system that focused on individualized vetting instead of blanket country bans now the Trump Administration is revisiting a much broader and more complex approach which could have far-reaching implic applications for Global Travel while it is still subject to review by Embassy officials Security Experts and intelligence agencies this new list is expected to be finalized soon the White House will likely make further adjustments as it vets the final recommendation as the situation unfolds one thing is clear these restrictions signal that the Trump Administration is taking a much more aggressive stance on immigration National Security and Foreign Relations than we saw during his first term for more updates on this new US Travel band stay tuned
