Trump Administration Expands Travel Ban
On December 16, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation further restricting the entry of foreign nationals from select countries, citing national security and public safety concerns. The order, which takes effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on January 1, 2026, expands upon Proclamation 10949 and imposes travel restrictions, enhanced screening measures, and targets nations deemed to have inadequate identity management and information-sharing practices. The stated aim is to prevent the entry of individuals who may pose a terrorism risk, threaten national security, or abuse United States immigration laws.
