Here’s what Trump is doing now.
WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump has taken decisive action to protect the homeland, signing a powerful new proclamation that bans foreign nationals from 12 countries known for terrorism, instability, and failure to cooperate with U.S. immigration enforcement.
This latest move reaffirms Trump’s commitment to national security, border control, and putting America First — no apologies, no exceptions.
“We don’t want them,” Trump said, referring to unvetted foreign nationals who pose a clear threat to the safety of American citizens.
🔒 FULL BAN: 12 Countries Blocked Over National Security Threats
Under the new order, entry into the U.S. is now completely suspended for nationals of the following 12 countries:
- Afghanistan
- Burma (Myanmar)
- Chad
- Republic of the Congo
- Equatorial Guinea
- Eritrea
- Haiti
- Iran
- Libya
- Somalia
- Sudan
- Yemen
These nations were flagged due to poor security cooperation, terrorism risks, and high visa overstay rates — all of which endanger American communities.
⚠️ PARTIAL RESTRICTIONS: 7 More Countries Under Review
President Trump’s order also applies partial entry restrictions on foreign nationals from:
- Burundi
- Cuba
- Laos
- Sierra Leone
- Togo
- Turkmenistan
- Venezuela
These countries face increased scrutiny and reduced access to U.S. visas until their governments cooperate with American screening protocols.
🚨 TERROR ATTACK IN COLORADO PROMPTED IMMEDIATE ACTION
Trump pointed to a recent antisemitic firebombing in Boulder, Colorado, allegedly carried out by an Egyptian national with an expired tourist visa.
“This tragic attack highlights the cost of weak borders and broken vetting systems,” Trump said in a direct message to Americans on Truth Social.
In response, a formal review of Egypt’s security cooperation has been ordered by the Departments of State, Homeland Security, and National Intelligence.
📜 ROOTED IN EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY
This proclamation follows Trump’s January 20 Executive Order, titled:
“Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats.”
The directive empowers Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with other key Cabinet members, to assess foreign countries’ failure to provide reliable identity verification and counter-terrorism data.
“We are no longer going to tolerate nations that abuse our immigration system or refuse to take back their criminal nationals,” Trump declared.
🛑 VISA FRAUD & LAW ENFORCEMENT STRAIN
Many of the countries on the list have high rates of visa overstays, creating dangerous blind spots in U.S. law enforcement.
“These individuals often vanish into our cities, placing enormous strain on public safety systems,” the president stated.
Trump emphasized his constitutional duty to protect the American people, noting that his administration remains open to cooperation — but only with governments that take security seriously.
💬 DEMOCRATS LASH OUT — BUT AMERICANS STAND WITH TRUMP
Far-left lawmakers quickly attacked the move. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) blasted the order as “discriminatory,” despite overwhelming evidence of national security risks.
Her criticism echoes liberal outrage from Trump’s 2017 travel ban, which was ultimately upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in a landmark decision defending presidential authority.
But millions of Americans — especially seniors, veterans, and law-abiding families — applaud the crackdown on open borders and demand continued action.
🇺🇸 PRESIDENT TRUMP: AMERICA COMES FIRST
This sweeping travel ban sends a clear message to the world: The safety and sovereignty of the United States is non-negotiable.
At a time of rising global chaos and surging illegal immigration, President Trump has once again delivered real leadership, real action, and real results.
