This is indefinitely banning almost all travel to the United States from seven countries. This includes most of the nations covered by his original travel ban. Nations that cites threats to national security posed by letting their citizens into the country.\nStarting next month, most citizens of Iran, Libya<\/strong>, Syria, Yemen, Somalia<\/strong>, Chad,<\/strong> and North Korea will be banned from entering the United States, Mr. Trump said in a proclamation released Sunday night. Citizens of Iraq and some groups of people in Venezuela who seek to visit the United States will face restrictions or heightened scrutiny.<\/p>\nALSO READ: Is President Trump's New Travel Ban And Birth Tourism Policy A Scheme To Lower Africa's Population In America?<\/a><\/strong><\/div><\/p>\nPeople seeking access to the United States as refugees are not covered by the proclamation, officials said. Entry of refugees is currently limited by the president\u2019s original travel ban. However, officials said the administration was preparing new rules for refugees within days.<\/p>\n\n
\n\nMr. Trump\u2019s original ban blocked all travel to the United States by refugees as well as nationals of seven countries. This includes Sudan, Libya, and Somalia. In the new security review, Sudan was deemed to meet the security standards and was removed from the list of countries with travel restrictions.\n\n\nOfficials said Somalia did, barely, meet the security standards set by the United States. However, it will still be subject to a ban on emigration and heightened scrutiny for travel because it is a safe haven for terrorists. <\/p>\n

Somalis will no longer be allowed to emigrate to the United States but may visit with extra screening. Also, that means that students already in the United States can finish their studies. Also, employees of businesses in the United States who are from the targeted countries may stay for as long as their existing visas remain valid. People whose visas expire will be subject to the travel ban, officials said.<\/p>\n
In addition, in a statement by the White House, Mr. Trump defended the new proclamation. The president said, \u201cwe cannot afford to continue the failed policies of the past, which present an unacceptable danger to our country. My highest obligation is to ensure the safety and security of the American people. In issuing this new travel order, I am fulfilling that sacred obligation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\nRead More Here >><\/strong><\/a>","post_title":"Trump's Revised Travel Ban Indefinitely Bars Most Travel From Three African Countries","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"trumps-revised-travel-ban-indefinitely-bars-travel-three-african-countries","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-08-14 01:15:42","post_modified_gmt":"2024-08-14 01:15:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.africanvibes.com\/?p=15886","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5254,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2016-11-08 05:02:42","post_date_gmt":"2016-11-08 05:02:42","post_content":"\n\nDeng Adut never dreamed he would have a positive future, let alone be named the New South Wales (NSW) Australian of the year.\n\nKidnapped as a child and forced into military service, Adut's first tour duty was at age 9 when he was expected to kill or be killed.
