What do we know about Trump’s most broadcasting prohibition

Donald Trump has signed a trip to the United States from 12 countries, citing national security risks, according to the White House.

There are also seven additional countries whose citizens will face partial travel restrictions.

The US President said the list could be revised if “material improvements” were made and additional countries could be added as “threats arise worldwide.”

This is the second time he ordered a ban on travel from certain countries.

He signed a similar order in 2017 during his first term.

Trump has signed a proclamation forbidding the trip to the United States by citizens of 12 countries:

• Afghanistan
• Myanmar
• Chad
• Congo
• Guinea
• Eritrea
• Haiti
• Iran
• Libya
• Somalia
• Sudan
• Yemen

There are an additional seven countries whose citizens face partial travel restrictions:

• Burundi
• Cube
• Laos
• Sierra Leone
• Togo
• Turkmenistan
• Venezuela

The ban came into force on Monday at 12:01 (05:01 BST), a pillow that avoids the chaos that unfolded at airports across the country when such a measure came into force, almost no notice eight years ago. No end date has been provided; The order requires a periodic review.

The White House said these “healthy restrictions” will “protect Americans from dangerous foreign participants.”

In a video posted on his social website of truth, Trump said A recent alleged terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado “Underline the extreme dangers” caused by foreign citizens who have not been “properly checked”.

Twelve people were injured in Colorado on Sunday when a man attacked a group gathering to support Israeli hostage, throwing two ignition devices and using an improvised fire.

The man accused of performing the attack is identified as an Egyptian citizen, but Egypt is not included in the list of prohibited countries.

Trump has close ties with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah Al Sisi, who in the past was described by the President of the United States as his “favorite dictator”.

There are a number of people from the affected countries who can still enter the United States because of the following exceptions:

• Athletes traveling for big sports events, such as the 2026 World Cup or the 2028 Olympics.
• Holders of “Immigrant Visas for Ethnic and Religious Minorities Faced Pursuit in Iran”
• Afghan citizens who have special immigrant visas
• Any “legal permanent resident” of the United States
• Double citizens who have citizenship in countries that are not included in the travel ban

In addition, the Secretary of State may provide the release of persons on the basis of “each individual case” if “the individual would serve the national interest of the United States.”

Trump’s latest order, which is expected to face legal challenges, has attracted a quick response to home and abroad.

Somalia has promised to work with the United States to deal with all security issues.

In a statement, US Ambassador to the US Dahir Hassan Abdi said his country “appreciates his long -standing relationship” with America.

Venezuela Minister Diosdado Cable warned that “being in the United States is a big risk for everyone, not just the Venezuelans.”

The Democrats quickly condemned this move.

“This ban, expanded by Trump’s Muslim ban in his first term, will only isolate us on the world stage,” Pomila Jayapal, a Democratic Congress from Washington, said in one social media.

Another Democrat, Congressman Don Beyer, says Trump “has conveyed” the ideals of US founders.

Human rights groups also criticize the ban.

Amnesty International USA described this as “discriminatory, racist and downright cruel”, while US rights first called it “another antimigrant and criminal action taken” by the President.

Trump ordered his initial ban on traveling during his first term in the White House in 2017.

It involved some of the same countries as his last commandment, including Iran, Libya and Somalia.

Critics called it a “ban on Muslims”, as the seven countries originally listed were a Muslim majority and it was immediately challenged in the US courts.

The White House revolved politics, eventually added two non -Muslim countries with the majority, North Korea and Venezuela.

It was confirmed by the Supreme Court in 2018.

President Joe Biden, who inherited Trump, canceled the ban in 2021 by calling it a “spot for our national conscience.”
