Trump threatens to expand travel ban list in coming months
- The Trump administration is considering travel restrictions for 36 more countries, including major U.S. partners such as Egypt and Djibouti, according to an internal memo.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a memo that said listed nations had 60 days to meet new State Department requirements.
- The list includes 25 African countries, several Caribbean nations, four Asian countries, and three countries in Oceania.
- Countries have until Wednesday to provide an initial action plan to the State Department to meet the new requirements.
- This action follows Trump's revival of his first-term travel ban and a full ban on entry from 12 countries, with restrictions on seven others, as part of his anti-immigration agenda.
