President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on December 16 expanding and strengthening entry limits on nationals from countries described as having “demonstrated, persistent, and severe deficiencies” in screening, vetting and information-sharing systems, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The administration said the changes are necessary to prevent the entry of foreign nationals about whom the US “lacks sufficient information to assess the risks they pose, garner cooperation from foreign governments, enforce our immigration laws, and advance other important foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives.” Under the new measures, partial restrictions and entry limitations have been imposed on African countries that include Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, The Gambia, Malawi and Mauritanina. Full restrictions and entry bans now apply to citizens of Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria.
