Among them 4 Arab countries .. Trump prohibits the entry of citizens of 12 countries to America

Yesterday, US President Donald Trump has signed a declaration prohibiting the entry of 12 citizens of the United States, saying that this step is necessary to protect the country from “foreign terrorists” and other security threats.

This decision comes within the framework of a campaign launched by Trump to migrate this year at the beginning of his second presidential term. This campaign included the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador after suspicion of belonging to gangs and the procedures to refuse to register some foreign students and deport others.

The countries covered in the newly banning decision are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

The advertisement also imposes partial restrictions on the entry of people from seven other countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

“We will not allow people who want to harm us by entering our country,” Trump said in a video on the X platform, adding that the list can be reviewed to add to other countries.

The advertisement takes place from June 9, 2025 at 0401 GMT. It is stated that the visas issued before that date will not be canceled.

Trump said that the countries that are subject to stronger restrictions have been determined as “a large -scale presence of terrorists”, as well as they do not cooperate in the field of visa security and suffer from a deficit in verifying passengers’ identities and lacking the preservation of records of criminal history and record high rates to exceed the period of entry visas to the United States.

“We cannot allow open migration from any country where we cannot conduct a safe and reliable scrutiny in those who seek to enter the United States,” he added.
