On June 9, President Trump is set to implement a new travel ban affecting travelers from 12 countries, including Afghanistan and Iran, while partially restricting entry from 7 others, such as Venezuela. The ban aims to address national security concerns and encourage foreign governments to adhere to U.S. immigration policies. It revisits earlier travel restrictions and is likely to face legal challenges. The order cites high rates of visa overstayers and inadequate passport security as justification for the measures, although exemptions apply for certain legal residents and visa holders.
The new travel ban, signed by President Trump, effectively bars entry from 12 countries due to national security concerns and aims to exert pressure on foreign governments.
Included in the ban are countries with high rates of visa overstayers and poor passport security, with the administration claiming it is necessary to protect U.S. interests.
