On June 6, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new travel ban affecting individuals from 12 countries. This policy marks a return to a significant initiative from his first term in office, which had faced substantial legal and public challenges. The new travel ban is designed to avoid the legal pitfalls that plagued its predecessor. The original ban, implemented in 2017, targeted seven predominantly Muslim countries and was widely criticized as the "Muslim ban." It faced numerous legal defeats shortly after its introduction. The new policy aims to address these issues to ensure its implementation without similar legal hurdles. The announcement of the new travel ban has sparked reactions from various groups. Some organizations have expressed concerns about the potential impact on refugees and those in need of protection. The policy is expected to influence U.S. relationships with the affected countries and may face further scrutiny and potential legal challenges in the coming months.
