Donald Trump cited national security risks and signed a ban on travel from 12 countries to the United States.
There are seven additional countries to face partial travel restrictions.
The US president said that “improvement of materials” can be revised, but other countries can add “threats around the world.”
This is the second time he banned travel in a particular country. He gave a similar order during his first term in 2017.

Those who are under the limit can travel to the United States as a specific visa.
The ban will take effect on Monday at 00:01 EDT (04:01 GMT). It is a cushion that avoids confusion at the US airport when similar measures were virtually not notified eight years ago.
The end date is not provided. Order requires regular review.
Why is the ban on?
The White House said, “Common sense restrictions” will “protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors.”
Trump said in a video posted on his truth social website that Colorado’s recent attack on the terrorist attacks “stressed the extreme risks raised by foreigners who were not appropriate.
On Sunday, 12 people were injured in Colorado when a man attacked group meetings to support Israeli hostages, throws two cleaning devices and used a temporary flame officer.
Those who are accused of doing this attack have been identified as Egyptians, but Egypt is not included in the forbidden state list.
Trump has a close relationship with Egyptian President Abdel Patagalsis, who was described by the US as his “favorite dictator.”
Only two out of 19 countries are partially restricted by Iran, the patron of the terrorist list of the US government, and the entirely prohibited Cuba.
But national security is given for some reasons of choice.
In the Declaration, Trump used the visa system as well as a visa system, as well as historical failures that many listed countries did not accept the derailable people of the United States.
He added that the people of a particular country also “have a significant risk,” he added to the visa excessively.
The World Cup player allows -Who is exempted?
Many people in the affected country can enter the United States with various exceptions. The order does not apply next.
- “Legal permanent” US resident
- Immediate family with immigration visa
- US civil servants with special immigration visas
- Adoption
- Double nationals when they do not travel in a passport in one of the countries where individuals are affected
- Afghanist citizens with special immigration visas
- “Immigration visa for the ethnic and religious minorities who are persecuted in Iran”
- Foreigners traveling with non -immigrant visas
- Athletes, teams (including coaches and support employees), and major sports events such as the 2026 men’s soccer World Cup, and a direct family when traveling with major sports events such as Los Angeles’ summer 2028 Olympics
In addition, the US Secretary of State may give exemptions to individuals for each case “if an individual serves for US national interests.”
What is the response to the ban?
Trump’s latest orders, which are expected to face legal issues, have made a quick response at home and abroad.
Somalia, together with the US Ambassador, said to solve security issues with the United States, saying that his state valued his long relationship with the United States.
Diosdado Cabello, Minister of Home Affairs, Venezuela, warned that “in the United States warned that not only Venezuela, but also a great danger to anyone.”
The African Union, which represents all 55 countries on the continent, urged the United States to “involve participation in constructive dialogue with related countries.”
It has appealed to the United States to exercise the right to protect the border and citizens’ security in a way that balances the long -standing partnership between the United States and Africa and reflects the evidence.
The union said it is still concerned about the potential negative impact of such measures.
The Democratic Party quickly condemned this movement.
Pramila Jayapal, a Democratic Democratic Congressman in Washington, said about social media: “The first extension of Trump’s ban on Muslims at the first term will further contain us on the world stage.
Don Beyer, another Democratic Party, said Trump had betrayed American founders.
Human rights groups also criticized the ban.
The International Amnesty International United States described this as “discriminatory, racist, completely cruel”, and the US -based human rights first called the president as “another anti -immigrant and punishment.”
But others support the ban.
Clay Higgins, Louisiana, said that his trip to the United States is “not right but privilege.”
He argued that in the TODAY program of the BBC Radio, Americans were “immigrants in our country, violating our laws and violent among the people.”
Greg Swenson, the British Republican president of the United Kingdom, said that the national list of travel prohibitions proves that the White House uses the “common sense policy”, but that Egypt is not included.
“I think that even though there was a particular case from an illegal immigrant, Egypt could have a better policy than other countries,” he said.
How is it different from last time?
Trump’s original ban was made during the first White House semester in 2017 and introduced countries such as the latest spells, including Libya and Somalia.
Critics called this “no Muslim ban,” because the first seven countries listed were Muslims, and immediately challenged in courts across the United States.
The White House revised this policy and ultimately added two non -Muslims in North Korea and Venezuela. In 2018, it was supported by the US Supreme Court.
Joe Biden, who succeeded Trump as the president of the United States, abolished the ban in 2021 and called it a “stain to our national conscience.”
Christie Jackson, an American immigration expert, suggested that the new ban was “learned” in Trump’s first attempt.
The latest ban was not implemented immediately, and the limit told the BBC that it was “wider and more” exemption “.
But the immigrant attorney, headquartered in the United States, said that, as the White House insisted, there is a question of whether the high percentage of those who exaggerate the visa provides “rational standards” on the prohibition of travel.
“If they rely on this concept of excessive overtime, they must define what they actually mean.”
