Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has issued a proclamation to ban the entry of citizens from 12 countries and limit visa access for individuals from seven other nations. This decision is expected to have a limited impact on overall arrivals in the US for 2025. However, restrictions on the seven countries could reduce entries by more than 120,000, according to data from the International Trade Administration (ITA). These measures will take effect on June 9.
On June 4, Trump announced his latest policy decision which recalls actions taken during his first administration when he banned citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan, and Yemen. His current term has been marked by stricter migration policies that have faced opposition from Congress and human rights activists. The new Executive Order titled ‘Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats’ aims to safeguard American citizens.
“I stated that it is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes,” Trump said.
