President Trump imposes travel ban on citizens from 12 countries, citing national security.

In June 2025, President Trump imposed a travel ban on citizens from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and others, citing national security concerns. The ban exempts athletes participating in major sporting events, lawful permanent residents, and dual nationals from non-banned countries. Seven other countries face heightened restrictions. The move has drawn criticism for its impact on Somali families and African nations.
