Is America about to slam the door shut on even more visitors? It’s starting to look that way.
President Trump’s administration is reportedly eyeing a major expansion of its travel ban.
This time targeting citizens from 36 more countries.
The move was revealed in a leaked State Department cable.
It builds on Trump’s immigration crackdown, which has already seen travel restricted from 12 countries earlier this month.
Why the Bans Now?
According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s signed cable, the US has serious concerns.
Weak passport security, uncooperative governments, and overstayed visas.
Some nations have even been linked to terrorism or anti-American activity.
Countries from Angola to Zimbabwe now have 60 days to fix these issues or face restrictions.
And it’s not just new additions—Trump’s already partially restricted travel from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, and Venezuela, among others.
Sound familiar? It should. Trump’s first-term “Muslim ban” sparked global controversy before eventually being upheld by the Supreme Court.
But now, the travel ban may grow bigger than ever.
The message is clear: play by America’s rules—or stay home.
Whether that makes the US safer or sparks more backlash is a question only time—and voters—can answer.
