New Travel Ban for 12 Countries, Partial Limitation for 7 Other Countries
On June 4, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a proclamation 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 June 9, 2025, imposes travel restrictions and enhanced screening measures and targets nations deemed to have inadequate identity management and information-sharing practices. Its stated aim is to prevent the entry to the United States by individuals who may pose a terrorism risk, threaten national security, or abuse United States immigration laws.
