flag The Trump administration has expanded U.S. travel restrictions to include 20 additional countries and Palestinian Authority passport holders, effective January 1, 2026. flag Full bans now apply to citizens of Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria, while 15 nations face partial restrictions. flag The move, citing national security, corruption, unreliable documents, visa overstays, and deportation challenges, follows the arrest of an Afghan national linked to a Thanksgiving shooting. flag Exemptions remain for lawful residents, diplomats, athletes, and others deemed beneficial to U.S. interests. flag Critics argue the policy discriminates based on nationality and undermines humanitarian commitments, particularly by eliminating a prior exception for Afghan allies. flag The expansion is expected to face legal and political opposition.
