Trump Announces New Travel Ban Affecting 19 Countries

President Donald Trump announced a new travel ban affecting 19 countries, with 12 facing complete restrictions and 7 facing partial limitations. The ban, set to take effect next Monday, is justified by the administration's assessment of these countries' deficiencies in traveler vetting and the perceived high security risks they pose to the United States. "We don't want them," Trump stated in a brief address shown in the video. The affected countries include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen (complete ban), along with Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela (partial ban). This action follows Trump's previous travel ban during his first term, targeting several Muslim-majority countries. While the video lacks specific details on the criteria used for the assessment, the announcement itself is a significant development in US immigration policy, highlighting ongoing concerns about national security.
