Expands travel ban to restrict entry from 19 countries

Trump issued a proclamation significantly expanding his travel ban policy, suspending entry for certain foreign nationals from 19 countries deemed to be "national security threats." The order, effective June 9, 2025, was justified as a measure to protect the U.S. from foreign terrorists, but critics condemned it as discriminatory and a continuation of the "Muslim ban" policies of his first term.

"I restricted the entry of foreign nationals... which successfully prevented national security threats from reaching our borders." — Proclamation text
