United States President Donald Trump’s Administration is mulling a new travel ban that would affect citizens from dozens of countries to varying degrees, the New York Times reported at the weekend.
Citing anonymous officials, it said the draft list featured 43 countries, divided into three categories of travel restrictions.
The red category of countries whose citizens would be completely barred from entering the US includes Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
A further 10 countries in the orange category - Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan - would have visas sharply restricted.
