President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday banning or restricting travel of foreign nationals from several countries, reminiscent of his first administration when he banned travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries in 2017.
The ban, which goes into effect on June 9, affects Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
The entry of people from seven other countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela, will be partially restricted. The travel restrictions were first reported by CBS News.
"We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm,"Trump said in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter. He said the list could be revised and new countries could be added.
Since returning to the White House for his second term, the president has vowed to replicate the impact of his original travel bans, which stirred several legal battles with courts that blocked the mandate. Here's a timeline of what ensued then.
