WATCH THE VIDEO HERE President Donald Trump has announced plans to impose a travel ban targeting 43 countries, Reuters is reporting. The proposal, which is still awaiting approval, divides the countries into three categories: red, orange, and yellow. The red group consists of 11 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Cuba, Bhutan, Venezuela, North Korea, Yemen, and Somalia. Nationals from these countries would be completely barred from entering the United States. The orange group includes 10 nations, including Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Pakistan, Laos, Turkmenistan, Haiti, and Eritrea. Citizens from these countries would face sharp restrictions on their visas. Finally, the yellow group, comprising 22 countries, would have 60 days to address specific concerns raised by the U.S. government before facing potential restrictions. This group includes nations such as Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, and Zimbabwe. Notably, some African economic powerhouses, including Nigeria, South Africa, Algeria, and Egypt, are excluded from the list. However, many other African countries are impacted by the proposed ban. This travel ban is part of a broader immigration crackdown that Trump initiated at the start of his second term in office. Although the list has not yet been finalized or approved, it marks a continuation of the administration’s efforts to restrict immigration to the U.S. The proposal has sparked discussions about its potential impact on international relations and the global movement of people.
