When will the prohibition come into force?

The prohibition will enter into force at 12:01 am on Monday, June 9.

Why were countries selected?

The first day of his second administration, Trump ordered officials to carry out a security review of the high -risk regions and make recommendations on where immigration and trip restrictions should be imposed.

The president said that the factors considered were “the large -scale presence of terrorists, the lack of cooperation in visa safety, the inability to verify the identities of travelers, the maintenance of inadequate criminal records and the persistently high rates of exaggerations of illegal visas and other things.”

“Very simply, we cannot have an open migration from any country where we cannot examine and detect safely and reliably those who seek to enter the United States,” Trump said.

The president cited the recent attack in Boulder, where an Egyptian citizen was accused, as part of the justification of prohibitions. Egypt is not among the countries in the White House list. But the proclamation ordered officials to evaluate the “adequacy” of Egypt’s research policies “in the light of recent events.”

Are there exceptions to the new travel ban?

The president’s decree contains certain exemptions, even for the permanent residents of the United States and the spouses and children of US citizens who have “clear and convincing identity and family relationship.”

Proclamation also describes exemptions for Afghans who helped US forces and have special visas; diplomats; The athletes who come to the United States for the World Cup, Olympic Games and other important sporting events; Dual nationals with a passport from a country that does not appear in the president’s decree; and for adoptions.

Trump said the list could be reviewed if countries make “material improvements”, and that new countries can be added “as threats arise worldwide.”

Did Trump do this before?

The president’s actions follow a series of travel prohibitions issued During your first administration which initially attacked the predominantly Muslim countries. Like these orders, its last proclamation could be subject to demands, although the Supreme Court finally confirmed the revised prohibition of its first mandate, which the White House pointed out in an information sheet that describes its second -period prohibitions.

The President promoted his travel prohibitions for the first period in his video statement published on Wednesday.

“In my first term, my powerful travel restrictions were one of our most successful policies, and they were a key part of avoiding great terrorist attacks on the American soil,” Trump said.

In January 2017, Trump signed a travel ban that restricted the entry of the majority of citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The prohibition caused a generalized protest, creating chaos in airports and causing legal challenges, since opponents argued that the prohibition was discriminatory.

Then, in March 2017, Trump eliminated Iraq from the list and added Chad, Venezuela and North Korea. The president expanded the ban in 2020, adding immigration restrictions for the nationals of Nigeria, Eritrea, Sudan, Tanzania, Myanmar and Kirguistán. Chad was later removed from the list.

The third iteration of the president’s first -term prohibition was confirmed by the Supreme Court in the summer of 2018. At that time, conservative judges cited the president’s broad authority to restrict the entry of foreigners for reasons of national security. When President Joe Biden assumed the position, he discarded that prohibition.
