Washington: According to three people with knowledge of the situation, President Donald Trump’s new travel restriction may prevent citizens of Pakistan and Afghanistan from entering the country as early as next week after a government assessment of the security and vetting concerns of those nations.
According to the knowledgeable sources, who asked not to be named, other nations might also be on the list, although they were unsure which ones.
The action is reminiscent of the Republican president’s first-term travel ban from seven countries with a majority of Muslims, which underwent multiple revisions before the Supreme Court affirmed it in 2018.
