Trump announces new travel ban affecting 12 countries set to take effect Monday

The countries include Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
On January 31, 2020, President Donald Trump announced a new travel ban affecting citizens from six additional countries—Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan, and Tanzania—bringing the total to 12 countries restricted under the policy, set to take effect on February 3, 2020. This expansion of the travel ban, which already included Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, aims to enhance national security by limiting travel from nations that do not meet U.S. security and information-sharing standards. The new restrictions primarily target immigrants and do not apply to those with valid visas or green cards, although it may impact diversity visa lottery winners from the affected countries. Critics argue that the ban is discriminatory and ineffective, while the administration asserts it is necessary to protect the country from terrorism and security threats.
