Trump Administration Plans New Travel Ban Targeting Multiple Countries
The Trump administration is reportedly considering a new travel ban that could impact citizens from up to 43 countries, according to various memos and reports. Key nations mentioned include Pakistan, Russia, and Belarus, with the proposal expected to prohibit entry to these nations without exceptions for specific populations, such as Cubans and Venezuelans. Thousands of Afghans who assisted U.S. military efforts continue to be at risk of retribution and face potential exclusion under this proposed ban. The administration has already begun to review visa programs and implement travel advisories affecting areas close to the India-Pakistan border. As preparations for this travel ban intensify, concerns are rising among affected communities and advocates urging for the protection of vulnerable populations.
