Trump May Expand Sweeping US Travel Bans to 25 More African Countries: Reports | Firstpost Africa

The Trump administration is reportedly considering expanding its travel ban to 36 more countries, 25 of which are in Africa over national security concerns. An internal US State Department cable, cited in reports, lists issues such as poor passport security, lack of cooperation on deportations, and suspected terror links. Countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Ghana are among those at risk. If these nations don’t meet certain benchmarks within 60 days, they could face full or partial entry suspensions. This move would significantly widen the scope of the current restrictions, which already target several Muslim-majority nations. Many say the expansion disproportionately affects African countries and raises questions about fairness in US immigration policy. The final decision is expected in the coming weeks.

  1. Africa, your should see this ban as a blessing, and match trump's energy. If African can't travel to America, then Americans can't come to africa. And just keep it moving. America offers nothing but hard ships for blacks. So you not missing anything by being banned. Okay doky mighty fine!!!! LOL!!!

  2. That's f***cking decision.. why he don't talk about Cote d'ivoire?? this contry cover lot of hamas guys by have easly ivorians passport…
    So this decision it's founded on wrong Africans immigrants situations analyses…
    Any ways we don't move again in usa. In few moment this contry will need us to protect his contry… wait and see!!!

  3. These countries are banned because of the violent nature of the people from each. Trump is safe guarding America. As for Canada not being on the list Canada is one of the most peaceful countries in the world. Cuddos to Trump. And if these countries are predominantly black it isn't because of the color but the conduct of it.
