00:00President Donald Trump signed a proclamation reinstating and expanding a travel ban that restricts entry into the U.S. for nationals from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, and Yemen, citing national security concerns and inadequate vetting procedures.
00:16The ban also imposes partial restrictions on travelers from seven additional countries, such as Cuba and Venezuela, and includes exemptions for lawful permanent residents, certain visa holders, and athletes participating in major global events.
00:32Critics argue the ban is discriminatory and politically motivated, drawing parallels to the president's 2017 travel ban, which faced legal challenges but was ultimately upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018.
