The President of the United States of America (USA) Donald Trump continues on his global conquest, this time around, he has barred a total of 19 countries from entering the USA as they pose a security threat for his country.
Since he assumed office, Trump has been on a crusade to set the world right and re-position America as a world super power that will no longer tolerate being taken advantage of. Following his global trade war, the President now has named a few countries of which he suspended their entry into the country as a measure of safety.
Trump says it is his duty to keep the country safe, and that the identified countries who did not meet the security clearance criteria will be suspended from entering America, and those already the country, their visas will be revoked.
“As President, I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people. I remain committed to engaging with those countries willing to cooperate to improve information-sharing and identity-management procedures, and to address both terrorism-related and public-safety risks.
Nationals of some countries also pose significant risks of overstaying their visas in the United States, which increases burdens on immigration and law enforcement components of the United States, and often exacerbates other risks related to national security and public safety,” said President Donald Trump.
“I also stated that the United States must be vigilant during the visa-issuance process to ensure that those aliens approved for admission into the United States do not intend to harm Americans or our national interests. More importantly, the United States must identify such aliens before their admission or entry into the United States.
The United States must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists or other threats to our national security,” he said.
Trump signed a proclamation on 4 June 2025 of a full suspension of entry on the countries identified; the countries include:
Afghanistan
Burma
Chad
Republic of the Congo
Equatorial Guinea
Eritrea
Haiti
Iran
Libya
Somalia
Sudan and
Yemen
Partial suspension of entry for countries identified included:
Burundi
Cuba
Laos
Sierra Leone
Togo
Turkmenistan and
Venezuela
“I directed the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, to identify countries throughout the world for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a full or partial suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries pursuant to section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1182(f).
After completing that process, the Secretary of State determined that a number of countries remain deficient with regards to screening and vetting. Many of these countries have also taken advantage of the United States in their exploitation of our visa system and their historic failure to accept back their removable nationals,” said Trump.
