- “No (travel restriction) list,” the State Department Spokes Tammy Bruce.
- The administration says to keep us safe about the issuance of visas.
- Reports show that Washington has prepared a draft list of 41 countries.
Washington: Amidst great speculation related to potential travel restrictions by the administration of President Donald Trump, the US State Department has rejected the existence of any travel ban list.
The State Department spokesman Tami Bruce said during a media briefing, “The people who have been seeing in the last several days are not a list that is present here,” Action is being taken, “during a media briefing, it has been said during a media briefing that responded to a question and responded to a question related to Afghanistan’s situation.
The refutation of the spokes comes after a draft list, providing the names of 41 countries including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iranam and others -divided into three separate groups, which will be subject to separate degrees of travel restrictions.
In the list, according to the memorandum viewed by RootsPakistan was inducted into a group, which would be considered for partial suspension to issue visas if their governments “do not try to remove deficiencies within 60 days”.
The first group of 10 countries including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba and North Korea will be determined for a complete visa suspension.
In the second group, five countries – Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar and South Sudan – will face partial suspension that will affect other immigrant visas with tourist and student visas with some exceptions.
In the third group, a total of 26 countries, including Belarus, Pakistan and Turkmenistan, would be considered for a partial suspension of issuing US visas if their governments failed to address relevant deficiencies within 60 days.
On the condition of anonymity, an American official warned that the list could be changed and it was not yet approved by the administration, including US State Secretary Marco Rubio.
The move reflects Trump’s ban on travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries during the first presidential post of Trump, a policy that went through several recurrents before the Supreme Court retained it by the Supreme Court in 2018.
Trump issued an executive order on 20 January, requiring an intensive security vet of any foreigners seeking entry into the US to find out national security threats.
Expanding the reports of the list of alleged travel sanctions, State Department official Bruce said that there was a review through the executive order of President Trump, “to see the nature of the US to see the US nature that America has allowed to deal with the issue of visa and in the country”.
He said, “But whatever is something that is an item through the state department, not just the case,” he further clarified.
