WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a new travel ban, targeting 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran and Yemen, which restored one of the most controversial measures of its first term.

The US president said the move was temporarily encouraged by flames on Jewish protests in Colorado, which was accused by US officials on a man whom he said was illegal in the country.

The move continues to travel to the United States through the citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equina, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

Trump also partially banned passengers from seven countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. Some temporary work visas will be allowed in these countries.

The White House said Monday was banned.

“The recent terrorist attack in Bolder, Colorado has emphasized the utmost threats to our country through the entry of foreign nationals,” Trump said in a video message posted on X X, “Trump said in a video message from the Oval Office posted on X.

“We don’t want them.”

The World Cup, the Olympics were excluded

Trump’s ruling states that the ban will not be on players who participated in the 2026 World Cup, which is associated with the United States and Mexico as well as the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

On Wednesday, Trump announced a ban on visas for separate foreign students who are ready to study at Harvard University, and promote the crackdown on which they view as the stronghold of liberalism.

The US leader compared the new measures to the “powerful” ban that he imposed on Muslim countries in many of his first period, which disrupted travel around the world.

Trump said the 2017 ban has left the United States from terrorist attacks in Europe.

“We will not allow what happened in Europe in Europe in the United States,” Trump said.

“We cannot migrate to any country where we cannot test and screen safely and reliably.”

Venezuela warned that the United States itself was a dangerous destination.

“Living in the United States is not only a major threat to Venezuela,” Venezuela’s Home Minister Davidado Kabilo said after the announcement.

However, Trump’s new travel ban may face legal challenges, as he has taken many stringent measures to return to his whirlwind office.

‘Terrorist‘

The White House did not practically warned with a new ban, a few minutes after Trump addressed about 3,000 political appointments from his balcony in a celebrating “Summer Soiri”.

At the Oval Office, Trump did not present any reporters, not even with an extraordinary move, but an unusual move.

But rumors of Trump’s new travel ban after the attack in Colorado had circulated, his administration vowed to pursue “terrorists” living in the United States on a visa.

According to court documents, an Egyptian citizen, Mohammed Sabri Suleiman, has been accused of throwing fire bombs and burning gasoline at a group of people gathered in support of Israeli hostages near Hamas on Sunday.

US Homeland security officials said Suleiman was illegally in the country, which had promoted a tourist visa, but he applied for Asylum in September 2022.

“President Trump is fulfilling his promise to protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors who want to come to our country and hurt us,” White House deputy press secretary Abigil Jackson said on X.

In his announcement, Trump’s announcement presented specific reasons for each country, saying it aims to protect the United States from the threats of “foreign terrorists and other national security”.

In particular, Egypt was not included in the list of countries facing travel sanctions.

For the Taliban -led Afghanistan and war -torn Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, they said they had a shortage of “capable” central authorities for passports and investigations.

The order states that Iran, which is discussing a possible nuclear deal with the United States, was included because it is a “state sponsor for terrorism.”

“The effects of this ban will once again feel the Americans who were denied their ability to see their loved ones at weddings, funerals or a child,” said Jamal Abdi, president of the National Iranian American US Council.

For most of the other countries, Trump’s ruling cited more likely than on average that people would promote their visas.
