 U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled a plan to enforce a travel ban targeting 41 countries, with more than half of them located in Africa.
The proposal is aimed at restricting entry from these nations, which Trump claims pose security risks to the United States. This move is seen as part of his strategy to tighten immigration controls and strengthen national security.
The ban would affect travelers from over 20 African countries, raising concerns among leaders and activists from the region. Critics argue that the plan unfairly targets African nations and could harm diplomatic relations and economic ties between the U.S. and the affected countries.
Trump’s decision is rooted in his longstanding stance on immigration control, which was a central theme during his presidency. This new proposal is expected to face legal challenges and public backlash, similar to the travel ban he imposed during his time in office.
The announcement has sparked debates globally, with human rights groups and international organizations calling for fair treatment and respect for the rights of individuals from the affected nations. Meanwhile, U.S. officials supporting the plan insist that it is necessary to protect national security and prevent potential threats from entering the country.
