Published: 6/5/2025
US President Donald Trump imposed a travel ban affecting 12 countries primarily in Africa and the Middle East. Countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Libya, and others face full or partial restrictions due to reasons such as terrorism sponsorship, visa rule violations, and lack of cooperation on security risks. Trump cites national security concerns and recent attacks as reasons for the ban, which will come into effect soon.
