Donald Trump travel ban 2025: 19 countries in US President's new order - LIST

Both orders will go into effect on Monday, according to a statement issued by the White House .

Donald Trump said that the measure was spurred by a makeshift flamethrower attack on a Jewish protest in Colorado that US authorities blamed on a man they said was in the country illegally.

"The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted," Donald Trump said in a video message from the Oval Office posted on X. "We don't want them."

Donald Trump compared the new measures to the "powerful" ban he imposed on a number of mainly Muslim countries in his first term, which caused huge travel disruption across the world.

The President said that 2017 ban had stopped the United States suffering terror attacks that happened in Europe.

"We will not let what happened in Europe happen in America ," Trump said, adding that "we cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen. That is why today I am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Libya, and numerous others."

Meanwhile, a Reuters report said that Donald Trump's new travel ban order could, however, face legal challenges.
