Trump doubles number of countries facing travel bans or restrictions, bringing list to 39 nations (LINK) 16 December 2025

— The first iteration of the travel ban Mr. Trump issued in June included 19 countries, fully barring the entry of immigrants and travellers from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. It also partially suspended the entry of nationals of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.< The proclamation signed by Mr. Trump on Tuesday added seven countries to the list of states facing full entry restrictions: Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Laos, Sierra Leone, South Sudan and Syria. It imposed partial entry limits on immigrants and travelers from another 15 countries, including Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Mr. Trump's proclamation also enacted an entry ban for those traveling with documents issued by the Palestinian Authority, which governs parts of the West Bank. The restrictions on travelers from Turkmenistan were eased, after Mr. Trump said that country had improved its information-sharing with the U.S. The immigration and travel restrictions include some exceptions, including for permanent U.S. residents from the countries on the list and athletes and staff participating in major sporting events like the FIFA World Cup next year. But Tuesday's proclamation also eliminated an exception, included in the June travel ban, that exempted the children, spouses and parents of U.S. citizens who had requested visas on their behalf.

— "How things will continue for the people of Brienz/Brinzauls in the longer term is unclear. The conditions on the mountain are to be reassessed by the end of January. It will then be possible to say whether it will be possible to lift the evacuation. Meanwhile, canton Graubünden has promised further help. On Tuesday, the cantonal parliament approved a loan of CHF50 million ($63 million) for the preventive resettlement of the village of Brienz/Brinzauls, which is threatened by rock masses. This will compensate those residents who want to move away permanently."
