President Donald Trump has signed an executive order implementing a travel ban affecting citizens from 12 countries, with heightened restrictions on seven more. This order aims to protect national security, as articulated by Trump in response to recent attacks highlighting risks posed by unvetted foreign nationals. He stated the need to prevent harmful individuals from entering the U.S. by restricting immigration from nations where reliable vetting isn’t possible. This measure reflects a continuation of Trump’s previous travel ban efforts during his first term, focused on predominantly Muslim countries.
"We will not let what happened in Europe happen to America... We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm."
"I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people," Trump said, explaining the necessity of his action on travel restrictions.
