Donald Trump has issued a travel ban to 12 countries after “a robust assessment of the risk that countries posed to the United States, including regarding terrorism and national security.” “The Proclamation fully restricts and limits the entry of nationals from 12 countries found to be deficient with regards to screening and vetting and determined to pose a very high risk to the United States: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen,” the White House said in a statement.During his first term, Trump issued an executive order in January 2017 banning travel to the U.S. by citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries \u2014 Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. It was one of the most chaotic and confusing moments of his young presidency. Travellers from those nations were either barred from getting on their flights to the US or detained at U.S. airports after they landed. They included students and faculty as well as businesspeople, tourists and people visiting friends and family.Apart from the 12 countries, 7 countries including Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela have been partially banned from the US.”The Proclamation includes exceptions for lawful permanent residents, existing visa holders, certain visa categories, and individuals whose entry serves U.S. national interests,” the White House has said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people,\u201d Trump said in his proclamation.”From his first Muslim Ban, Trump\u2019s travel bans have always betrayed of the ideals and values that inspired America\u2019s Founders. Trump\u2019s use of prejudice and bigotry to bar people from entering the U.S. does not make us safer, it just divides us and weakens our global leadership,” Rep. Don Beyer, Representing Northern Virginia\u2019s #VA08 in the U.S. House has posted on X.\u201cThe president of the United States \u2013 and by the way every member of Congress \u2013 has one solemn duty: to defend and protect the United States of America\u2026 Thank you to President Trump for keeping America safe, that\u2019s what the election was about,” Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno told Fox News.”A travel ban, a protective shield. But is it a mere response to fear or a deeper strategy at play? What echoes from Europe linger in our choices? Reflect on the unseen narratives shaping our future,” one X user posted.\"Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump has issued a travel ban to 12 countries after “a robust assessment of the risk that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":159047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3161],"tags":[3082,67281,53,67280,67283,67279,16,15,67282],"class_list":{"0":"post-159046","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-internet","9":"tag-national-security-travel-ban","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-travel-ban-countries","12":"tag-trump-immigration-policy","13":"tag-trump-travel-ban","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-us-travel-restrictions"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114628343100162716","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
