Trump tightens entry: ban for 12 countries from June 9th!
Boulder, Colorado, USA - President Donald Trump has either completely banned or severely restricted the entry into the United States for citizens from 19 countries. This regulation comes into force on June 9, 2025 and is part of his strategy to increase the security of US citizens. The measure particularly affects states that, according to Trump, are considered uncooperative and is intended to protect the USA from "foreign terrorists". According to Tagesschau The measures are particularly geared towards the withdrawal of nationals from some countries.
The complete entry ban concerns the nationals from 12 countries: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. For citizens from 7 other countries, including Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela, restrictions apply. The New York Times reports that these new restrictions may affect more people than the previous travel bans during Trump's first term. Last year, around 170,000 citizens of the affected countries received Visa, mainly for visiting purposes.
reactions and feared consequences
The reactions to the announced measures are shared. Some US Democrats express resentment and warn of further isolation from the United States. The criticism is particularly loud in view of the historically split effect of such regulations. Somalia already offers its cooperation to solve security problems, while Venezuela describes the US government as fascist. It is also expected that legal steps are taken against this arrangement, similar to the earlier "Muslim Ban".
The former “Muslim Ban”, which affected several Muslim states, led to massive chaos at airports and protests in 2017. The Supreme Court confirmed the final version of this regulation in 2018, which was only lifted by Joe Biden in January 2021. The renewed efforts to tighten the entry requirements are a return to controversial politics that concern the US immigration laws.
categorization and other security measures
According to a draft of the US government, citizens from a total of 43 countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia could be affected by such restrictive measures. These states are divided into three categories: the red list of countries that are completely excluded, the orange list with increased visa requirements and the yellow list, where safety standards have to be improved. In particular, the risk of increased violent crime in major American cities and potential terrorist attacks call for caution, such as the Foreign Office recommend.travelers should also find out more about the security situation in the USA and register in crisis pre -organists in order to be better secured in an emergency. It is advised to pay attention to travel health insurance protection and to pursue current messages about security incidents while large crowds should be avoided. The strict controls at airports have already been established, with biometric data being recorded and the address of the stay in the USA must be given.
