Donald Trump's travel ban: Exceptions travellers need to know

The article from Newsweek discusses the exceptions to former President Donald Trump's travel ban, which was implemented in 2017 and targeted several predominantly Muslim countries. Despite the ban, there were numerous exceptions that allowed individuals from these countries to enter the U.S. under specific circumstances. These exceptions included waivers for those with significant ties to the U.S., such as family members or business interests, and for those who could demonstrate that their entry would not pose a security risk. The article highlights that these exceptions were not widely publicized, leading to confusion and varied enforcement. It also notes that the travel ban was a contentious policy, facing multiple legal challenges before being upheld by the Supreme Court, and was eventually rescinded by President Joe Biden upon taking office in 2021.
