The travel ban issued by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday will mainly affect countries in Africa and the Middle East.

Twelve countries face a full ban, which will take effect on Monday. People in seven other countries are facing some restrictions.

Trump describes it as national security. He cited the recent attacks on members of the Jewish community in Colorado, allegedly carried out by Egyptian nationals. Egypt itself is not on the banned list.

Other reasons cited include violating U.S. visa rules for people in the country concerned. This is some reasoning from the president.

A series of charges have been filed against Afghanistan in the presidential declaration signed by Trump. The document stressed that the Taliban, which controls the country, is a specially designated global terrorist (SDGT) group.

The move comes as the Trump administration appears to have shown in weeks that the situation in Afghans have improved when it announced the termination of Afghans of Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

Trump further accused Afghanistan of lack of “competence or cooperation” central authority to issue passports or civil documents. Like other countries on Trump's list, visa issues for Afghan nationals are also cited.

Trump's announcement identified Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism - a long-standing allegation that Middle Eastern countries have previously rejected.

The United States has previously condemned the alleged agency groups in Tehran, the capital of Iran, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Trump's new manifesto says the country is "the root of major terrorism around the world", has no cooperation with the security risks of the United States, and has "historically failed to accept its movable national."

The move was a result of a diplomatic dispute between the two sides, in a new agreement created on Iran's nuclear weapons construction capabilities.

Similar reasons are given in the following cases somalia. East African countries are called "terrorist safe haven" by Trump. Like Iran, it has also been accused of failing to accept its nationals when it evacuated from the United States.

However, Trump raised another point: "Somali, unlike other countries, lacks command and control over its territory, which greatly limits the effectiveness of its national capabilities in various aspects."

The international government in Somalia faces major challenges to arming Islamists. It has promised to "conduct dialogue to address concerns raised by Trump."

Libyain North Africa, is cited for its "existence of historical terrorists," which is portrayed as a security threat to Americans.

Libya and Somalia are also one of the countries on Trump’s list that have been criticized for their incompetent perceptions of their passports.

The document stressed that "during the Biden administration, thousands of illegal Haitian foreigners flocked to the United States."

Trump noted that this has brought various risks - including building "crime networks" and high visa rates.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that in February 2024, more than 852,000 Haitians lived in the U.S., although no collapse was given when these immigrants arrived.

Many people have happened after the devastating earthquake in 2010 or after gang violence that fled the Caribbean countries. The U.S. president also pointed out that Haiti lacks central authority in matters including law enforcement.

These countries are only accused by Trump of a relatively high visa rate.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) defines “overdue overdue” as a person who remains in the United States outside the U.S. authorization period without any evidence of an extension. "Fees" mark the proportion of overdue residents.

Central African countries Chad What was selected was "blatantly ignoring the US immigration law."

The document highlights Chadians’ coverage of business or tourist visas in 2023 at 49.54%, and cited a report from the Department of Homeland Security.

Congo - Brazzoville and Equatorial Guinea The equivalences were 29.63% and 21.98% respectively. But these speeds are lower than those of Laos, which face smaller restrictions.

Myanmar (called Chad in the Trump declaration) is also accused of high visa rates.

Like others on the list, including Iran, the country further accused not of cooperating with the United States to accept expelled Burmese nationals.

For each of these countries, the first allegation Trump made was their suspicious ability to issue passports and civil documents.

Eritrea and Sudan Further allegations are that visa rates are relatively high. Eritrea It also accused the failure to make the criminal record of its nationals available to the United States and refused to accept the deported nationals.

Like Somalia Yemen He was also accused of lacking control of his own land. Trump's announcement emphasized that this is the scene of the US military operation. The United States has been fighting Houthis, and they have captured much of the country's northern and western regions during the ongoing civil war.

People from seven other countries face some restrictions:

• Venezuela A central agency accused of lacking “competent or cooperative” to issue passports and similar documents. Again mention of the visa layer and the refusal to accept the deportation charges. In response, South American countries described the Trump administration as "a supremacist who believes they have the world"
• Cuba Tagged as another "terrorist state sponsor", a designation made by the United States in 2021 and condemned by Havana. It also mentioned that allegedly refused to accept deported persons
• exist Burundi, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo and Turkmenistan
