Trump reinstates travel ban on 12 countries, citing national security concerns

President Donald Trump is resurrecting the travel ban policy from his first term, signing a proclamation Wednesday night.
On January 20, 2021, former President Donald Trump reinstated a travel ban affecting 12 countries, citing national security concerns. The ban, which was initially implemented in 2017, targets nations such as Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, North Korea, Venezuela, and several others. Trump's decision to reinstate the ban came after it had been lifted by President Joe Biden on his first day in office.

Critics of the ban, however, argue that it is discriminatory and targets predominantly Muslim countries.
