What we know about the countries on Trump's travel ban list, and how many people will be impacted

A sweeping new travel ban on citizens from a dozen nations was announced by the White House on Wednesday, reviving a defining effort from the first Trump administration to crack down on entries from specific countries.
The article from AOL News discusses the Trump administration's travel ban, officially known as the "Presidential Proclamation Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats," which was implemented in 2017. The ban initially targeted seven countries but was later revised to include restrictions on travelers from eight countries: Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen, with varying levels of restrictions. Chad was initially included but later removed from the list. The ban has faced significant legal challenges and public controversy, with critics arguing it discriminates based on nationality and religion, particularly affecting Muslim-majority countries. Supporters of the ban argue it is necessary for national security to prevent potential terrorist threats. The Supreme Court upheld the ban in a 5-4 decision in June 2018, allowing it to remain in effect.
