US President Donald Trump has raised a policy characteristic of his first mandate, announcing that citizens of 12 countries would be forbidden to visit the United States and that those of seven others are confronted with restrictions.
The prohibition comes into force Monday at 12:01 pm, a cushion which avoids chaos which took place at the country’s airports when a similar measure came into force without notice in 2017. Trump, who reported plans for a new ban on taking up his duties in January, seems to be on a firmer land that moment after the Supreme Court realized him.
Some, but not all, 12 countries also appeared on the list of countries prohibited during Trump’s first term. The new ban includes Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
There will be increased restrictions on visitors to Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
In a video published on social networks, Trump has linked the new ban Sunday attack in Boulder, Colo., saying that he highlighted the dangers posed by some visitors who have raised visas. The suspect of the attack is from Egypt, a country that is not on Trump’s limited list. The American Department of Internal Security said that the suspect had exceeded a tourist visa.
Trump criticizes the screening for other countries
Trump said some countries had a “deficient” screening and verification or historically refused to resume their own citizens. Its conclusions are largely based on an annual report on visa internal security on tourists, business visitors and students arriving in air and at sea, distinguishing countries with high percentages to stay after the expiration of their visas.
“I have to act to protect national security and national interest in the United States and its people,” Trump said in his proclamation.
Haiti, who avoided a prohibition to travel to the first mandate of Trump, was included for high surpassing rates and a large number that came to the United States illegally, according to the report. The Haitians continue to flee poverty, hunger and political instability arose while the police and a sustained mission against the violence of the gangs, with armed men controlling at least 85% of its capital, Port-au-Prince.
“Haiti does not have a central authority with sufficient availability and dissemination of information on the application of the laws necessary to ensure that its nationals do not undermine the national security of the United States,” wrote Trump.
The list follows from an executive decree of January 20 that Trump issued the Federal State and internal security departments and the American director of national intelligence to compile a report on “hostile attitudes” towards the United States and if the entry of certain countries represented a risk of national security.
Echoes of a previous ban in the 1st term Trump
During his first mandate, Trump issued A decree in January 2017 Prohibit travel in the United States by citizens of seven countries with a Muslim predominance: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

It was one of the most chaotic and confusing moments of his young presidency. The travelers of these nations were either forbidden to go to their flights to the United States, or detained in airports after landing. They understood students and teachers as well as businessmen, tourists and people visiting friends and family.
The order, often called “Muslim ban” or “travel ban”, has been retained among the legal challenges, until a version is Confirmed by the United States Supreme Court in 2018.
The ban has affected various categories of travelers and immigrants from Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Syria and Libya, as well as North Koreans and certain representatives of the Venezuelan government and their families.
Trump and others defended the initial ban on national security reasons, arguing that it was aimed at protecting the country and not based on anti-Muslim prejudices. However, the president had called to an explicit ban on Muslims Entering the United States during its first campaign for the White House.
