US targets 41 countries for travel curbs ranging from Iran to Pakistan: memo
The Trump administration is considering imposing sweeping travel restrictions on citizens from 41 countries. An internal memo reveals the potential ban, dividing the countries into three groups with varying levels of restrictions.
The first group of 10 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba, and North Korea, could face a full visa suspension. A second group of five countries, such as Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, and South Sudan, may experience partial suspensions affecting tourist, student, and immigrant visas. The remaining 26 countries, including Belarus, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan, could face partial visa suspensions if their governments fail to address identified deficiencies within 60 days. However, a US official cautioned that the list is subject to change and requires final approval from the administration.
