The ban would fall under an executive order, signed by the president on Jan. 20, titled “

” meant to address “national security and public safety threats.”

The order claims it will protect U.S. citizens from “aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.”

It gave Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard a deadline of 60 days from the order – in about two weeks – to identify such countries and enact the ban.

– to be barred from traveling to the U.S. Pakistan and Afghanistan are expected to be added to the list.

Countries coded as “orange” will have limited but not completely prohibited access, and “yellow” countries will have 60 days to address any “deficiencies” before facing restrictions.

It’s unclear if those with valid visas will lose their permitted entry into the U.S.

Which countries did Trump ban last time?

President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office, on the day he signs executive orders, at the White House in Washington, D.C., on March 6, 2025.

In 2017, during Trump’s first term, the president created a series of bans against citizens from *******-majority countries. Those from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen were banned for 90 days, refugees for 120 days were blocked, and travel from Syria was suspended.

How long did the ban last?

President Joe Biden reversed Trump’s initial round of travel bans when he took office on Jan. 20, 2021.

How would the ban affect American travelers?

Americans could face an increased risk of harassment when traveling abroad to the countries the Trump administration is targeting, experts said.
