The Trump administration will restrict travel to the United States from 19 countries, the White House announced in a presidential proclamation on Wednesday, unveiling limits reminiscent of his controversial first-term “Muslim travel ban”.
Taking effect on June 9, travel will be fully restricted from 12 nations: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Partial restrictions will apply to seven others: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
