Amid the ongoing tariff war, President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to impose travel bans on citizens from 41 countries. This new measure follows his previous decisions to raise tariffs on various countries, and now, according to media reports, the Trump administration is considering implementing wide-ranging travel restrictions on citizens from numerous nations. A memo outlining these changes has been drafted, and it divides the countries into three distinct groups.

The first group consists of ten countries including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba, and North Korea, whose citizens will face a complete suspension of visas. The second group involves five countries—Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, and South Sudan—that will experience partial suspensions, affecting tourist and student visas, as well as other immigrant visas, with some exceptions. The third group includes 26 countries such as Pakistan, Bhutan, and Myanmar, which will face partial restrictions on U.S. visa issuance unless their governments address deficiencies within 60 days.

Although the list is still under review, it has raised concerns, echoing the travel bans imposed on Muslim-majority countries during Trump’s first term, which were upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018. This new plan adds to the increasing tensions between the U.S. and several other nations amid growing economic and diplomatic challenges.
