Trump has sharply expanded the U.S. travel ban, signing a new proclamation that blocks entry from seven additional countries, citing national security risks, visa overstays, and failures in identity screening systems. The move marks one of the most sweeping immigration restrictions of his presidency and signals a renewed hard line on border and visa enforcement. Under the new order, full travel bans are imposed on Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Syria, Laos, and Sierra Leone, along with individuals holding travel documents issued by the Palestinian Authority. The White House confirmed the expanded restrictions will take effect on January 1 and apply to both immigrants and non-immigrants. WATCH
