The United States is planning to expand its list of countries subject to travel restrictions to include more than 30 nations, according to U.S. Security Minister Kristi Noem. The move signals a potential broadening of the Trump administration’s controversial immigration policies and could further complicate international travel for citizens of affected countries.
Security Minister Kristi Noem indicated the number of countries affected would exceed 30, adding that President Trump is still reviewing potential additions. “I won’t give an exact number, but it’s over 30, and the president continues to evaluate countries,” she said in an interview with Fox News.
Noem did not specify which countries are being considered for inclusion on the expanded list.
Currently, the existing list includes 19 countries: Iran, Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, Haiti, Venezuela, Libya, Sierra Leone, Togo, Equatorial Guinea, Congo-Brazzaville, Burundi, Chad, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Myanmar and Laos.
