Trump signs ban on travel to US by nationals from 12 countries | BBC News

US President Trump has signed a ban on travel to the United States from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Haiti and Iran. An additional seven countries—such as Cuba and Venezuela—have nationals facing partial travel restrictions. The White House described these "common sense restrictions" as a measure to protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors. Trump announced the ban on the social media platform Truth Social, citing the Colorado attack that occurred on Sunday. The proclamation echoes an order from Trump’s first term in 2017, when he announced a ban on travel from seven Muslim‑majority countries entering the US.
