President Donald Trump says that citizens of Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan will, from 9 June, be banned from travelling to the US – part of a 12-strong list of countries worldwide facing the measure.

He revealed on Wednesday that this executive order also restricts nationals from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Haiti, and Yemen.

Here’s the full list:
Afghanistan
Burma (Myanmar)
Chad
Republic of the Congo
Equatorial Guinea
Eritrea
Haiti
Iran
Libya
Somalia
Sudan
Yemen
In addition, a partial ban was imposed on travellers from seven other nations: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela—allowing only certain types of visas, such as for temporary work.

Trump defended the decision in a video posted on X, saying that “the recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted. We don’t want them.”
