The Trump administration is reportedly considering a travel ban on citizens from 11 countries, according to a report by The New York Times on Saturday.
The draft recommendations, compiled by diplomatic and security officials, propose a “red” list of countries whose citizens would be completely barred from entering the United States.
The 11 countries identified in the “red” list are: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
Additionally, the report mentions an “orange” list, which includes nations where visa restrictions would be significantly tightened. This list comprises Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan.
The New York Times reported that officials, speaking under the condition of anonymity, cautioned that the list, which was created by the State Department weeks ago, is still subject to change before reaching the White House for final approval.
