U.S. Discusses Entry Ban for Citizens of 36 Countries
The Trump administration is considering expanding immigration restrictions, including a full or partial entry ban for citizens from 36 countries, including Syria, Egypt, and Nigeria.
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has begun discussions on significantly expanding the list of countries whose citizens may face a full or partial ban on entry into the United States. The proposed restrictions involve 36 countries and are linked to increased immigration control and national border security.
Among the countries under discussion are Syria, Egypt, Nigeria, Cambodia, Djibouti, Ghana, Kyrgyzstan, Ethiopia, South Sudan, as well as nations in Oceania, Central and West Africa, and the Caribbean, including Vanuatu, Tonga, Tuvalu, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and others. The decision to include a country in the list is based on criteria related to immigration risks, lack of data sharing on security, and violations of immigration laws.
According to sources close to the White House, the measures are part of a broader strategy aimed at tightening visa control and reducing the number of entry applications. One of the key factors influencing decision-making is the evaluation of cooperation between the listed countries and U.S. authorities regarding the exchange of information on migrants, offenders, and potential national security threats.
Previously, the administration had already taken steps to restrict entry for citizens of certain countries, citing the need to protect the population and prevent terrorist activity. The new list may significantly expand the scope of immigration restrictions and affect citizens from countries not previously subject to enhanced scrutiny.
Officials emphasize that no final decision has been made yet, and discussions are ongoing at the departmental level. If approved, the list will be published with detailed information on specific restrictions by visa category and duration. A partial ban is also being considered, which would apply to specific types of travel, including work, tourist, or student visas.
The proposed measures may impact diplomatic relations between the listed countries and the United States. Some countries have already expressed concern over potential consequences, particularly in areas such as education, tourism, and business relations. Consultations are underway in several nations with U.S. embassies to obtain clarification on the proposed changes.
It is expected that the White House will soon release an official document listing the countries and providing legal explanations for the new restrictions. Administration representatives emphasize that the goal is to improve the efficiency of the immigration control system without infringing on the rights of legitimate applicants.
