The Trump administration is considering issuing sweeping travel restrictions for the citizens of dozens of countries as part of a new ban, according to sources familiar with the matter and an internal memo seen by Reuters.

The memo lists a total of 41 countries divided into three separate groups. The first group of 10 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba and North Korea among others, would be set for a full visa suspension.

In the second group, five countries -- Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar and South Sudan -- would face partial suspensions that would impact tourist and student visas as well as other immigrant visas, with some exceptions.

In the third group, a total of 26 countries that includes Belarus, Pakistan and Turkmenistan among others would be considered for a partial suspension of U.S. visa issuance if their governments "do not make efforts to address deficiencies within 60 days", the memo said.

Why would anyone want to travel to the US now anyway?

Afghanistan makes sense since they were responsible for 9/11 attacks...oh, no wait, those were the Saudis. Surely, they must be on this list...right?

[–] middlemanSI@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

He can not put US on that list

[–] NotLemming@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

I'm surprised Germany isn't on the list considering how the tourists have been treated.

On behalf of Canada can I request that they add Canada?

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

If you're Canadian and visit the US you should stay there.

Please leave an open channel if/when you need to start taking in refugees... There are many very intelligent people here that would love an opportunity to escape this nightmare and go north...

I will learn French if needed.

I don't get why these countries should be on that list. I might be wrong but these are thriving democracies.

Angola

Antigua and Barbuda

Cabo Verde

Dominica

Saint Kitts and Nevis

Saint Lucia

Sao Tome and Principe

Vanuatu

Maybe because they are thriving democracies. Trump prefers dictatorships. I am surprised to see North Korea on the list. I thought trump loved the little angry munchkin in charge over there.

Certainly the Caribbean island countries are all an odd choice, given their proximity, peaceful nature, and good relations with the US.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 1 points 3 days ago

With the measles outbreak, he's probably doing those countries a favor.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Any way I can get my country on that list too?
