US President Donald Trump revived one of the previous politicians of his first term on Wednesday and announced that citizens from 12 countries would be forbidden to enter the United States, with other restrictions on passengers from seven others, most of which are mainly Muslim nations.
“We don’t want them”
In a video shared on Social Media, Trump combined the newly announced ban on traveling with Sunday’s terrorist attack in Boulder in Colorado and claimed that this emphasized the risks that have exceeded their visas.
However, the suspect in the attack is from Egypt – a country that is not included in Trump’s limited list – and, according to the Ministry of Internal Security, has exceeded the tourist visa.

Trump justified the ban by claiming that certain countries had “insufficient” screening and testing processes or consistently refused to repatriate their citizens. His decision hardly draws on the annual report of Homeland Security, which monitors a visa of crossing tourists, trade passengers and students entering the air or sea, focusing on nations with a particularly high crossing. “We don’t want them,” Trump said.
Prohibition of travel or Muslim ban?
The order, often referred to as “Muslim ban” or “ban on travel”, was redesigned in the middle of legal problems until the Supreme Court in 2018 confirmed the version.
The ban has influenced different categories of travelers and immigrants from Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Syria and Libya, as well as the North Koreans and certain Venezuelan government officials and their families.

Trump advocated the initial ban on national security and claimed that he had aimed to protect the country and was not based on anti-Muslim bias.
However, Trump called for an explicit Muslim ban during his first White House campaign.
A list of 12 forbidden countries
Here are 12 countries below this ban and seven subjects under travel restrictions:
Forbidden from us traveling: Afghanistan, Čad, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Myanmar, Congo, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
Restricted to us travel: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
When does it take effect?
The announcement signed by Donald Trump will come into force on June 9, 2025 at 12:01 EDT, an EDT, a pillow that can avoid chaos that developed at a national level when similar measures entered into virtually without announcement in 2017.

Trump, which signaled plans for a new ban on hiring the Office in January, seems to be on stronger land this time after the Supreme Court was with him.
Who is influenced?
Travel restrictions apply to foreign nationals from designated countries that:
- Are outside the US since June 9 and
- You do not have a valid visa on this date.
However, the announcement explains that any visa of immigration or immigrants issued before June 9 will remain valid and will not be canceled under this order.

Some, but not all, 12 countries also appeared on the list of banned countries in the first term of Trump.
Country under a partial ban on travel:
The announcement limits entry for immigrants and persons on specific temporary visa-B-1, B-2, B-1/B-2, F, M and J Vipas-Z following countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
Travel ban does not apply to:
1. The statutory permanent residents (green card holders).
2 .. Dual nationals passengers from an unlimited country.
3. Diplomats with valid non -immigrant visas.
4. Athletes and their immediate relatives participate in events such as the Olympics or other main sports competitions.
Mutual visas of immigrants about the family.
Afghan special immigrant visas (SIVS).
Special visa of immigrants for US government employees.
Immigrant visas for persecuted ethnic and religious minorities from Iran.
Afghan factor in Trump’s Travel Ban 2.0
The ban includes exceptions to Afghans who organize special immigrant visas (SIV), usually provided to those who worked closely with the US government over the two decades of Afghanistan war.
It should be noted that Afghanistan was one of the highest sources of relocated refugees, with approximately 14,000 arrivals in 12 months leading to September 2024. It is a significant contrast to the earlier view of Trump – on the first day in office resettling refugees.

“Include Afghanistan – a nation whose people stood for 20 years next to members of American service – is a moral shame. It is spilled to our allies, our veterans, and every value we claim to follow,” said Shawn Vandiver, president and chairman of the board #afghanevac.
Trump wrote that Afghanistan “lacks a competent or central central central body for issuing passports or civil documents and has no suitable screenings and screening”. He also quoted his excessive visa exceeding.
Haiti
Haiti, who avoided the ban on traveling during Trump’s first term, was also included for a high exceeding and a large number who came to the US illegally. The Hair still fled from poverty and hunger, and political instability is deepening, while the police and the unfounded mission are fighting to increase the gang violence, while armed men control at least 85 percent of their port-Au-Prince, as stated by AP.

“Haiti lacks central authority with sufficient availability and dissemination of information on the enforcement of the right to ensure that its nationals do not satisfy the National Security of the United States,” Trump wrote.
Iran
The Iranian government has to respond to its integration into the list. Trump’s administration described Iran as a “state sponsor of terrorism”, with the exception of visitors, with the exception of those who already hold a visa or enter the US on a special visa awarded to minorities that face persecution.

The ban on travel stems from the executive order issued by Trump on 20 January, which will direct the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Inner Security and the National Intelligence Director to deprive the report of “hostile attitudes” against the US and assess whether to enter from certain countries.

The international assistance groups and the resettlement organization were besieged by a new ban. “This policy does not apply to national security – it is a division of sowing and villa communities looking for security and opportunity in the United States,” said Abby Maxman, President Oxfam America, as stated by the Associated Press.
Other countries in the Middle East – Libya, Sudan and Yemen – are all absorbed in the ongoing civil conflicts with territories controlled by competing fractions. Sudan is currently experiencing active warfare, Yemen’s conflict remains largely on Mr.bub, and Libyan armed factions continue to meet.
