(CNN) — the White House announced Monday that it is restricting the entry of CNN from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Burma, Iran and Yemen, partial restrictions on the entry of citizens of seven countries, including Burundi. President Trans said the move was aimed at “Foreign terrorists” and other security threats. Reuters said the directive was part of a crackdown on immigration launched by Donald Trump at the start of his second term this year.
According to a White House announcement, the restrictions will take effect on 9 U. S. Eastern Time. The United States, on the grounds of“National security” and so on, full immigration restrictions are imposed on citizens of 12 countries, including Afghan, Burmese, Chadian, Congolese, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrean, Haitian, Iranian, Libyan, Somali, Sudanese and Yemeni. However, visas issued before this date will not be revoked. The United States will also partially restrict entry to the United States for citizens of seven countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. It said the restraining order was taken to prevent“Foreign terrorists, other threats to national security and public security personnel” from entering the United States.
“We will not allow people who want to harm us to enter our country,” Donald Trump said in a video posted on social media platform X, adding that the list could include more new countries. According to Reuters, Donald Trump said there were “Large-scale terrorists” in countries on the all-access list, lack of cooperation on visa security, inability to verify the identity of travellers and inadequate criminal records, overstaying rate is high in the United States. “We can’t open immigration to any country where we can’t safely and reliably screen and screen people,” Donald Trump said. Citing the incident in Colorado on Sunday, Donald Trump said an Egyptian man threw a petrol bomb at pro-israeli demonstrators, pointing to the need for new restrictions. According to reports, the man involved is Egyptian citizen Mohamed Sabri Soliman, federal officials said his tourist visa expired, and his work permit expired. However, Egypt is not on the restricted list.
“President Donald Trump is making good on his promise to protect the American people from hostile foreigners who seek to harm us,” John Hughlings Jackson, a White House deputy spokesman, said in a post on social media platform X
A number of countries have responded to the US government’s restrictions on entry. Somalia immediately pledged to work with the United States to address security concerns. According to Reuters on the 5th, “Somalia values its long-term relationship with the United States and stands ready to address its concerns through dialogue,” Somali ambassador to the United States Dahir Hassan Abdi said in a statement. Venezuelan interior, Justice and Peace Minister Cabello responded late Wednesday, the US government is a “Fascist” and warns of risks to Venezuelan people in the US. “The fact is, this is a huge risk for anyone in the US, not just the Venezuelan people… They are persecuting our fellow citizens for no reason.” A Taliban spokesman in Afghanistan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This is not the first time Donald Trump has imposed such a ban. Donald Trump also issued a restraining order after he was first elected president in January 2017, citizens of Libya, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan and Somalia are banned from entering the United States. This caused serious confusion at the time and led to a series of lawsuits. It was also one of the most controversial policies of Donald Trump’s first term. Reuters said Friday that the ban was accused of discrimination by opponents, the U. S. Court judge suspended the implementation of the ban. The U. S. Supreme Court finally ruled in 2018 that the ban was constitutional after several amendments. But when the Biden administration came to power, it lifted the restrictions, calling them“A stain on our national conscience.”. CBS reported that Donald Trump’s restrictions were in line with a series of travel bans issued during his first term, which initially focused on Islamic countries. Like the injunctions, his latest statement could face litigation.
Legal experts say the current version of the travel ban is likely to withstand more legal scrutiny than Donald Trump’s first-term ban, the New York Times reported Friday. “They seem to have learnt some lessons from the three rounds of litigation that Donald Trump went through in his first term,” said Stephen Vladek, a Georgetown University Law Center professor. But the enforcement of the ban will depend to a large extent on whether it is enforced in a manner that is illegal or even unconstitutional,” the Associated Press reported, the new travel ban, which comes into effect on Monday, may prevent a repeat of the chaos at airports across the US in 2017 when the Trump administration announced the ban without warning.
Asked at a Foreign Ministry press conference on Friday how to comment on one of the most controversial steps taken by Donald Trump to restart his first term, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian said: “We have taken note of relevant reports. Personnel exchanges are the basis for promoting exchanges and cooperation among countries,” he said.
