Trump Signs New Travel Ban Affecting 19 Countries

Trump Travel Ban 2025 Targets 19 Nations

President Donald Trump has signed a fresh proclamation to enforce a new travel ban, citing national security concerns. The Trump travel ban 2025 will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on June 9, restricting or partially limiting entry to the United States from 19 countries. According to the White House, this move is meant to prevent individuals from entering the U.S. who may pose a threat or come from nations with weak security vetting systems.

“We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm… nothing will stop us from keeping America safe.” — President Trump


Full Travel Ban Countries

Twelve countries will be fully restricted under the Trump travel ban 2025, meaning their citizens will not be allowed to enter the United States unless they meet special exemptions.

  • 🇦🇫 Afghanistan
  • 🇲🇲 Myanmar (Burma)
  • 🇹🇩 Chad
  • 🇨🇬 Republic of the Congo
  • 🇬🇶 Equatorial Guinea
  • 🇪🇷 Eritrea
  • 🇭🇹 Haiti
  • 🇮🇷 Iran
  • 🇱🇾 Libya
  • 🇸🇴 Somalia
  • 🇸🇩 Sudan
  • 🇾🇪 Yemen

Partial Ban Countries

Seven additional countries will face partial travel restrictions, which may affect specific visa categories, nonimmigrant entries, or have limitations based on national security information-sharing.

  • 🇧🇮 Burundi
  • 🇨🇺 Cuba
  • 🇱🇦 Laos
  • 🇸🇱 Sierra Leone
  • 🇹🇬 Togo
  • 🇹🇲 Turkmenistan
  • 🇻🇪 Venezuela

These nations were flagged for issues such as high visa overstay rates or lack of proper identification-sharing with U.S. security agencies.


Exemptions and Humanitarian Concerns

Who Is Exempt?

The ban allows exceptions for:

  • U.S. lawful permanent residents
  • Individuals with existing valid visas
  • Those entering under certain visa categories
  • People whose entry serves U.S. national interests

Human Rights and Immigration Groups Respond

Humanitarian organizations and veterans’ coalitions have raised concerns. #AfghanEvac, a U.S. coalition supporting Afghan allies, warned that the proclamation could endanger those fleeing persecution.

“This disproportionately affects families and individuals seeking lawful entry into the U.S.” — Shawn Vandiver, #AfghanEvac founder

International Reactions

Several governments, especially Venezuela, criticized the U.S. over the ban. Oxfam America called it a “chilling return to policies of fear, discrimination, and division,” claiming it could leave vulnerable people in life-threatening conditions.


Why Now?

The Trump travel ban 2025 comes days after a deadly antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado. Although the ban had been under review earlier, the incident reportedly accelerated the signing.

Trump has stated that the list may expand or shrink depending on evolving threats and international cooperation with U.S. security protocols.
