Trump Signs New Travel Ban Targeting 12 Countries Over Security Concerns. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Wednesday evening imposing a travel ban on nationals from 12 countries, citing security risks to the United States. The full ban applies to travelers from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Seven more countries, including Cuba and Venezuela, face partial restrictions. Exceptions are made for lawful permanent residents, current visa holders, and those whose entry aligns with U.S. national interests. The decision accelerated following a recent antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, with the White House emphasizing this move fulfills Trump's campaign promise to keep Americans safe from dangerous foreign actors. Trump noted the list may change as new threats arise, promising to update the ban accordingly. The proclamation takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on June 9, 2025.
