The Trump istration is considering targeting the citizens of as many as 43 countries as part of a new ban on travel to the United States that would be broader than the restrictions imposed during President Trump’s first term, according to officials familiar with the matter.

A draft list of recommendations developed by diplomatic and security officials suggests a “red” list of 11 countries whose citizens would be flatly barred from entering the United States. They are Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen, the officials said.

Draft List of Proposed Travel Ban Countries
An internal Trump istration proposal lists the following countries whose citizens could face restrictions on entering the U.S. Some countries may change in any final order.

A. Red Group (Total Ban – 11 Countries)
Nationals from these countries would be completely barred from entering the United States:

Afghanistan
Iran
Sudan
Syria
Libya
Cuba
Bhutan
Venezuela
North Korea
Yemen
Somalia

B. Orange Group (Severe Visa Restrictions – 10 Countries)
Visas for citizens of these countries would be sharply restricted:

Russia
Belarus
Myanmar
Sierra Leone
South Sudan
Pakistan
Laos
Turkmenistan
Haiti
Eritrea

C. Yellow Group (60-Day Review Period – 22 Countries)
Countries in this category have 60 days to address concerns raised by the US government. These nations include:

Angola
Antigua and Barbuda
Benin
Burkina Faso
Cambodia
Cameroon
Cape Verde
Chad
Republic of Congo
Democratic Republic of Congo
Dominica
Equatorial Guinea
Gambia
Liberia
Malawi
Mali
Mauritania
St. Kitts and Nevis
St. Lucia
São Tomé and Príncipe
Vanuatu
Zimbabwe

The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive internal deliberations, cautioned that the list had been developed by the State Department several weeks ago, and that changes were likely by the time it reached the White House.
Officials at embassies and in regional bureaus at the State Department, and security specialists at other departments and intelligence agencies, have been reviewing the draft. They are providing comment about whether descriptions of deficiencies in particular countries are accurate or whether there are policy reasons — like not risking disruption to cooperation on some other priority — to reconsider including some.

Bad news for Bitter People, I expect them to write a petition to Trump asking him to include Nigeria, so that they can have something to console their bitterness. There was a rumor of US reps giving Trump the go ahead to sanction Nigeria for the killings of Christians but what was not mentioned is the fact that the report only captured events that happened before 2023. 2023 up till March, 2025, Christians have been safer in Nigeria because there is a President who is a religious liberal and which is why Trump will throw the useless report into his toilet in the white house.

Trump himself dey look face and that's why Nigeria is untouchable, he knows Jagaban cannot be messed with like he's doing to Zelensky.
99% of Yellow Group are African, Trump is a racist. But I knew Haiti will not escape it, he accused them of eating cats during the campaign and now he's going to restrict them coming into the US.

Good news.

Lol, Trump fear Tinubu Putin. Some people would have loved Nigeria to be on the list but God shame them.

TimeManager:
I'm sure he would have placed South Africa there if it was not for Elon Musk.


-Kiss the truth!

You may be correct. SA would have to be thankful to Elon Musk

Why will he ban Nigeria when many Nigerians are contributing their quota to the US economy

Lol more Japa money for dem to cash out....

Nigeria will never make the list.. Nigeria generates a lot of travel revenue for the US

Well, this is a challenge for we in Diaspora to continue to build Good image and integrity of the Country outside, I know we all can't be good out here without bad eggs but it's minimal as we can see here , we have no direct impact from all CADRES list.
I have never violated or broken law both in Nigeria and abroad!

Better oo, oga trump. Don't mind our corrupt politicians . Na innocent for face the music. But I heard from my friend working at the embassy that those who signed the suspension of natasha akpoti may face visa ban as the embassy is planning to recall their visa for cancellation. That's the reason for the recent drama at senate denying the obvious and call for the appearance of apkabio and natasha before them. USA na your mate? It's only in Nigeria we drag women on the floor

Ipobidients will be shedding hot tears in their hovels now 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

God will continually disappoint enemy (ipobidients) of Nigeria.

He placed a ban on Nigeria last time he was in office and we did not die.

hahaha...it is a large economy boss where business can be made and wealth...

90% African countries or Caribbean countries, I like it when this slave masters tell us we are unwanted and unwelcomed. Look at the dummies in the comments happy Nigeria was not listed, like what victory is there for you when your brothers and sisters are disrespected and shunned, you are just a token nigga being tolerated.
