Trump Signs Proclamation Banning Travel From 12 Countries

-

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday banning travel from 12 countries, citing national security concerns.

The administration is imposing full restrictions on entry into the United States from nationals of Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

Additionally, Trump is imposing partial restrictions on entry from nationals of seven other countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

"As President, I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people. I remain committed to engaging with those countries willing to cooperate to improve information-sharing and identity-management procedures, and to address both terrorism-related and public-safety risks," Trump wrote.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday will meet with a group of Senate Republicans as he pushes lawmakers to pass his "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."

The sweeping immigration and tax bill faces pushback from some GOP members over concerns about growing the national debt and changes to Medicaid. It's also receiving heavy criticism from Elon Musk, who called it an "abomination."

Meanwhile, Trump's higher steel and aluminum tariffs went into effect earlier Wednesday, doubling from 25% to 50%.

Felix Baumgartner,   56, fell to the ground near the swimming pool of a hotel while flying over the village of Porto Sant'Elpidio in the eastern Marche region.
