Overview

• The U.S. government under President Trump is reportedly planning new travel restrictions targeting 43 countries, divided into three categories of severity.
• Eleven nations, including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, are listed for a complete visa ban under the proposed 'red list.'
• A second group of ten countries, such as Russia, Myanmar, and Belarus, could face significant restrictions, with visas limited to wealthy business travelers after personal interviews.
• A third 'yellow list' includes 22 nations that have 60 days to address U.S. security concerns or face stricter measures.
• This proposal builds on similar travel bans from Trump’s first term, which faced legal challenges but were ultimately upheld by the Supreme Court in a revised form.
