The article from AOL News discusses the reasons behind the 12 countries being included on former President Donald Trump's travel ban list. The ban, which was implemented in 2017, targeted nations that were deemed to pose a high risk of terrorism.

The article explains that the selection of these countries was based on a combination of factors, including the level of cooperation with the U.S. on security matters, the presence of terrorist organizations, and the effectiveness of each country's government in combating terrorism.
