President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a full-entry travel ban on nationals from 12 countries, including India's neighbour Afghanistan.
The other countries included Burma, Iran, and Libya. The 78-year-old also imposed restrictions on nationals from seven countries.
The proclamation fully restricts entry from Afghanistan, Burma (Myanmar), Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, identified as ‘very high risk’ due to inadequate screening, terrorism ties, or lack of cooperation with US immigration enforcement, as per the White House press release.
Partial restrictions apply to Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela, limiting immigrant and nonimmigrant visas (B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2, F, M, J) due to high overstay rates or insufficient law enforcement collaboration.
The White House justified the restrictions, citing Afghanistan’s Taliban control, Iran and Cuba’s state-sponsored terrorism, and Haiti’s influx of illegal migrants during the Biden administration.
Countries like Chad (49.54% B1/B2 visa overstay rate) and Eritrea (55.43% F/M/J overstay rate) were flagged for disregarding US immigration laws.
