US President Donald Trump signed a new travel ban Wednesday targeting 12 countries including Afghanistan, Iran and Yemen, reviving one of the most controversial measures from his first term.The ban targets nationals of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

On June 26, 2017, former President Donald Trump issued a travel ban affecting citizens from six predominantly Muslim countries—Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen—along with North Korea and some Venezuelan government officials, following a Supreme Court decision that allowed the ban to go into effect. This ban, which was a revised version of an earlier executive order, faced significant legal challenges and public outcry, with critics arguing it was discriminatory and contrary to American values. The Supreme Court's decision to uphold the ban was seen as a victory for the Trump administration, which argued the ban was necessary for national security reasons. The ban's implementation led to confusion and chaos at airports and travel hubs, affecting thousands of travelers and prompting protests across the country.
