The Trump administration is preparing to rekindle and extend travel prohibitions

The Trump administration is finalizing a new ban on travel in the United States for citizens of certain countries that are broader than the versions that President Trump published during his first mandate, according to two familiar officials with the issue.

A draft recommendation circulating inside the executive branch offers a “red” list of countries whose citizens Mr. Trump could prevent from entering the United States, said that officials, who spoke subject to anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations.

One of the officials said that the proposed red list is currently consisting mainly of countries whose nationals were limited under the versions of Mr. Trump’s previous travel ban. The last time, these countries included Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.

The project temporarily proposes to add Afghanistan to the group whose citizens are categorically prohibited from entering the United States, according to one of the officials.

Shawn Vandiver, the leader of a non -profit group who helps to reinstall the Afghans who worked with American forces during the war, said he learned officials that Afghan citizens are subject to a full travel ban.

On Wednesday morning, the group published an emergency declaration entitled “to come from the coming Afghan travel” which urged the Afghans with valid visas which are currently outside the United States to return immediately. Later Wednesday, Reuters also reported that Afghanistan would be recommended for a full travel ban.
