🇺🇸 #TRUMP EXPANDS TRAVEL BAN TO 20 MORE COUNTRIES FOR ‘US SECURITY’ 💂

The Trump administration has announced a major expansion of its travel restrictions, adding 20 more countries and the Palestinian Authority to the existing ban. The move, revealed on December 17, 2025, effectively doubles the number of nations affected and is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.

🌍 FULL TRAVEL BANS
Countries including Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Syria, as well as Laos and Sierra Leone, will now face complete entry restrictions into the United States.

⚠️ PARTIAL RESTRICTIONS
Around 15 countries, such as Nigeria, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe, will face limited entry curbs, tightening visa and immigration access.

🛂 WHY THE MOVE?
The White House cited national security concerns, pointing to issues like widespread corruption, unreliable civil records, and weak identity verification systems. The decision follows the arrest of an Afghan national linked to the shooting of two US National Guard troops.

📊 With this expansion, the total number of restricted countries rises to 39. The administration says bans will remain until affected nations show credible improvements in documentation and cooperation with US immigration authorities.

✅ EXEMPTIONS APPLY
Lawful permanent residents, current visa holders, diplomats, and athletes attending major global events are exempt. Case-by-case waivers may also be granted if travel serves US national interests.

🗣️ REACTIONS
Human rights and advocacy groups have criticised the move, arguing it unfairly targets people based on nationality. Some affected nations, including Dominica, have expressed serious concern and are seeking clarification from US officials.

🔍 The White House maintains the policy is strictly aimed at safeguarding American security—not discrimination.
