Presidential Proclamation Restricting Entry of Foreign Nationals from Certain Countries

President Trump issued a presidential proclamation enacting total and partial restrictions on immigration and travel to the U.S. for citizens of 19 countries. With few exceptions, it completely bans citizens of Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from entering the U.S. and further partially suspends the entry of citizens of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela as visitors or students. Egypt will be considered for additional restrictions. The stated purpose of the restrictions is to protect the U.S. from terrorism and other national security and public safety threats, in keeping with E.O. 14161. The proclamation is effective 6/9/25.

The White House issued a fact sheet on the proclamation.
