Trump Administration Bans Travel from Five More Countries

The Trump administration is expanding its travel ban to include five more countries and impose new limits on others. The ban now includes citizens Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria.

This move Tuesday is part of ongoing efforts to tighten U.S. entry standards for travel and immigration. The decision follows the arrest of an Afghan national suspect in the shooting of two National Guard troops over Thanksgiving weekend. 

In June, President Donald Trump announced that citizens of 12 countries would be banned from visiting the United States and those from seven others would face restrictions. The decision resurrected a hallmark policy of his first term.
