U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday expanded Washington’s travel ban to include citizens from seven additional countries, notably Syria, Laos, and several African states such as Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan. The order also blocks entry for holders of Palestinian Authority passports, marking a significant escalation in Trump’s long-standing campaign to restrict immigration on security grounds. The White House said the move targets individuals deemed potential threats to U.S. institutions or values.
The decision follows the killing of two U.S. soldiers and a civilian in Syria, an event that renewed scrutiny of regional security. Critics view the expansion as politically charged and discriminatory, particularly as Trump has recently intensified rhetoric against African and Muslim-majority nations. Several Western allies, including France and Britain, have expressed concern over the humanitarian and diplomatic fallout.
The new restrictions add to an already extensive list of countries facing full or partial bans. Analysts warn that the policy could strain U.S. relations with African and Middle Eastern partners and complicate refugee resettlement programs previously supported by Washington.
