President Donald Trump is reintroducing a travel ban policy affecting individuals from twelve countries, returning to a policy from his first term. The countries included in the prohibition are Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, alongside increased restrictions on visitors from several others. Trump justified the ban by citing national security concerns, a continuance of policies established during his previous presidency, which had previously faced significant legal scrutiny and public backlash, particularly regarding its impact on travelers and families.
The travel ban is framed as a necessary measure for the protection of the U.S. national security, citing risks from a specific group of countries.
This new travel ban echoes the earlier controversial directives from Trump's presidency, which faced significant opposition and legal challenges.
