Reports suggest that the Donald Trump administration in the USA is working on a new regulation that will impose travel restrictions on certain countries. It is said that some countries deemed a threat to national security will be classified as “red”, “orange”, and “yellow”. According to this classification, citizens of countries marked in red will face a travel ban to the USA.

According to the reputable New York Times, the US President Donald Trump’s administration is preparing to expand travel restrictions to the USA. Two informed sources stated that the new ban will be broader in scope than the one imposed during Trump’s first term in office.

THREAT LEVELS WILL BE CLASSIFIED BY COLORS
In the draft of the new travel ban, it was mentioned that some countries perceived as a threat to US national security will be classified as “red”, “orange”, and “yellow”. Citizens of countries marked in red will face a travel ban to the USA, while restrictions will apply to countries marked in orange, and countries marked in yellow will be given 60 days to “address their shortcomings.”

COUNTRIES CODED IN RED
While details about countries marked in orange and yellow were not provided, it was alleged that countries previously included in Trump’s travel ban, such as Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela, will be listed in the red category, with expectations to also include Afghanistan and Pakistan.

AIM TO PROTECT THE USA FROM “TERRORISM”
During his first term, Trump’s application of a travel ban on citizens of certain countries under the pretext of “protecting the USA from terrorist attacks” sparked lengthy debates. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump announced that if re-elected, he would reintroduce the controversial travel ban he imposed during his first term on countries with a majority Muslim population in a broader and stronger manner.
