Cubans, Venezuelans and Haitians are among the nationals from 12 countries impacted by President Donald Trump's most recent travel bans. The latter country is facing a full visa suspension, while the former two will be subject to a partial ban once the measure goes into effect on June 9.

The Trump administration justified its decision by claiming that Haiti's designation is a result of high visa overstay rates and the fact that its transitional government, marked by instability and the advance of gangs on most of the country's capital, is unable of vetting potential security threats. All visas from nationals as immigrants and non-immigrants will be suspended, barring some exemptions.
