Trump Expands US Travel Ban, Seven More Countries Added to List
President Donald Trump has signed a fresh proclamation widening the United States travel ban, adding seven more countries to those facing full entry restrictions. The move, confirmed by official statements and multiple international reports, extends the ban to countries the administration says have weak security vetting systems. The decision also tightens rules on several others, introducing partial restrictions that limit certain categories of travellers. Officials insist the policy is driven by national security concerns and will take effect in the new year. Critics, however, say the expanded ban will disrupt families, restrict mobility and deepen diplomatic strains, particularly with African and Middle Eastern nations already under pressure. For now, embassies and travellers are left scanning the fine print, waiting to see who is exempt and who will be turned away at the border.
