US President Donald Trump is considering expanding the travel restrictions, as he mulls to impose travel ban on 36 more countries, according to a classified State Department cable.
If it gets implemented, this would more than double the number of countries whose citizens will face full or partial travel ban to the US.
Some of the countries also include close US partners, like Egypt and Djibouti.
The memo was signed by State Secretary Marco Rubio and was sent to US diplomats on Saturday. The internal memo was reviewed by the Washington Post.
According to that, the listed countries have 60 days to follow new rules set by the State Department.
The concerns raised by the US include the government’s failure to issue reliable identity documents, lack of cooperation in accepting deported nationals, visa overstays and past involvement of some citizens in terrorist or anti-American activities.
