On June 4, President Trump signed a proclamation reinstating a travel ban from his first term, affecting individuals from 12 countries, including Afghanistan and Iran. The ban will be effective starting June 9 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. Trump emphasized the need to protect U.S. national security and stated a commitment to working with countries that are willing to improve safety measures. In addition to these strict measures, travel restrictions will also be heightened for visitors from several additional nations, reflecting ongoing efforts to curb perceived threats.
Trump said his move to restrict the entry of foreign nationals into the United States during his first term in office "successfully prevented national security threats from reaching our borders."
"I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people," Trump said in his proclamation.
The ban takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Washington time on June 9.
Trump remains "committed to engaging with those countries willing to cooperate to improve information-sharing and identity-management procedures, and to address both terrorism-related and public-safety risks."
