Shafaq News/ US authorities are planning to tighten travelrules for citizens of several countries, including some Arab nations, the NewYork Times reported on Saturday.
The proposal includes a “red” list of 11 countries whosecitizens would be completely banned from entering the US. These countries areAfghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria,Venezuela, and Yemen.
The proposal also features an “orange” list of 10 countrieswhere travel would be heavily restricted but not entirely blocked. Citizensfrom these nations would need to undergo mandatory in-person interviews toobtain a visa.
Wealthy business travellers might still be allowed entry,but people applying for immigrant or tourist visas would face stricterscrutiny. These countries include Russia, Belarus, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar,Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Turkmenistan, Eritrea, and South Sudan.
The third “yellow” category lists countries whose citizenswould face partial or full restrictions. These nations include Angola, Antiguaand Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Vanuatu, Gambia, the Dominican Republic, theDemocratic Republic of the Congo, Zimbabwe, Cape Verde, Cambodia, Cameroon, theCongo, Liberia, Mauritania, Malawi, Mali, São Tomé and Príncipe, Saint Kittsand Nevis, Saint Lucia, Chad, and Equatorial Guinea.
Notably, Iraq is not included in the new list, a significantchange from the first term of former President Donald Trump, when the countrywas included in a similar travel ban.
Upon taking office on January 20, President Trump issued anexecutive order directing the State Department to identify countries withinsufficient vetting procedures, which would justify suspending entry for theirnationals. The department was given 60 days to submit a report to the WhiteHouse, which is expected to be delivered next week.
Although the changes are still under review, officials havesuggested that adjustments may be made before the new rules are officiallyannounced. These measures are expected to go beyond the restrictions imposedduring Trump’s first term.
