Donald Trump may be adding another 36 countries onto his travel ban list.
Those looking to travel to the US from these specific countries will struggle to gain entry after the 78-year-old has made some changes in a bid to fight immigration.
These have been put into three categories; all travel has been banned, visas have been restricted and the third seeing countries given a 60-day ultimatum to address Trump’s concerns.
As reported by the New York Times, this is the draft list:
All travel banned
Afghanistan
Bhutan
Cuba
Iran
Libya

Unless people from these countries are facing religious persecution in Iran or are competing in US athletic competition, they may soon not have access to the states.
This comes after Trump signed an executive order on January 20, titled ‘Protecting the United States from foreign terrorists and other national security and public safety threats’.
Which reads: “Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence shall jointly submit to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, a report:
“(i) Identifying countries throughout the world for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries pursuant to section 212(f) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)); and
“(ii) Identifying how many nationals from those countries have entered or have been admitted into the United States on or since January 20, 2021, and any other information the Secretaries and Attorney General deem relevant to the actions or activities of such nationals since their admission or entry to the United States.”
