Dec 17, 2025 05:16 pm CST

President Trump has expanded the US travel ban to include Palestine and seven other new countries, citing national security concerns and inadequate vetting capabilities. The expanded ban now includes 20 countries under full restrictions and 19 nations facing partial visa limitations, primarily affecting immigrant, tourist, student, and exchange visitor visas. The White House justifies these measures by pointing to security threats, unreliable documentation systems, and weak information sharing protocols.
