होमलैंड सिक्योरिटी सेक्रेटरी क्रिस्टी नोएम का कहना है कि उन्होंने राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्प से उन “थर्ड वर्ल्ड देशों” पर कड़ा ट्रैवल बैन लगाने की मांग की है, जो उनके मुताबिक खतरनाक प्रवासी अमेरिका भेज रहे हैं। बैन कितना बड़ा होगा, यह अभी तय नहीं है और ट्रंप का फैसला बाकी है। नोएम की यह चेतावनी व्हाइट हाउस के पास दो नेशनल गार्ड जवानों पर एक अफ़गान शख्स के कथित हमले के बाद आई है।
00:00The Trump administration appears closer than ever to launching the largest travel ban expansion in U.S. history,
00:14one that could affect dozens of additional countries across Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and South Asia.
00:23The latest escalation came after Homeland Security Secretary Christine Noem met with President Donald Trump on Monday
00:32and emerged with what she called a full travel ban recommendation on countries she claims are sending killers and leeches to the United States.
00:43Her fiery message on X, amplified when Trump reposted it, signalled a sweeping new direction.
00:51Hours later, the White House made it clear. Noem's proposal is being taken seriously.
00:58White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt confirmed that the administration is
01:04recommending that the travel ban widens and covers more countries around the globe.
01:10Levitt added that if a nation doesn't respect our culture, laws or people, it should expect consequences.
01:21The renewed push follows last Wednesday's attack in Washington, D.C.
01:30where authorities say an Afghan immigrant, 29-year-old, Ramanullah Lakanwal, assaulted two National Guard members near the White House.
01:40Lakanwal entered the US legally under President Biden's Operation Allies Welcome Programme in 2021, meant to relocate Afghan allies after the fall of Kabul.
01:55Noem blasted the vetting process, accusing the Biden administration of allowing dangerous individuals into the country.
02:04The White House framed the incident as proof that lax screening created long-term risks.
02:11Trump has already issued a series of restrictions this year. In June, the administration banned nationals from 12 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
02:28In October, the refugee admissions cap was slashed to 7,500, a record low.
02:35After the D.C. attack, Trump ordered a halt to all asylum processing and launched a full review of every green card issued to immigrants from 19 identified concern countries.
02:49Mostly in Africa and the Middle East.
02:52But internal documents show the administration has been preparing to go much further.
02:59Recent discussions suggest the potential list could include Cuba, Nicaragua and Pakistan, as well as several African nations flagged earlier this year.
03:11President Trump himself told reporters aboard Air Force One on November 30 that the list could grow far beyond 19, implying that dozens of nations could soon face restrictions.
03:25If enacted, this would represent the broadest travel ban in American history, touching nearly every region of the developing world.
03:34To understand how wide this expansion could go, it helps to look at the countries already in the administration's crosshairs.
03:44Right now, 12 nations are under a full travel ban, places like Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen and several others across Africa and the Middle East.
03:59Another seven countries face partial restrictions, including Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
04:10Together, those 19 nations make up what the White House calls countries of identified concern,
04:18and their citizens are already undergoing a full review of green cards and immigration benefits.
04:25But the list could grow dramatically. An internal memo shows officials are eyeing up to 36 additional countries, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, but also potential additions like Cuba, Nicaragua and Pakistan, if they fail to meet U.S. security and information-sharing benchmarks.
04:48The Department of Homeland Security says it will announce the list soon, potentially within days.
04:55While no final decisions have been made, insiders expect enforcement to mimic the June rollout, meaning immediate suspension of visas,
05:06cancellation of pending applications, and rapid implementation at U.S. airports and consulates worldwide.
05:15The administration is also preparing for legal challenges, with new executive orders already drafted for rapid deployment.
05:24The expanding travel ban is only one piece of the administration's broader immigration strategy.
05:31Trump advisers say the ban aligns with the President's plans for mass deportations, including deploying additional border patrol units into U.S. interior cities such as Charlotte, North Carolina.
05:46The administration is also exploring restrictions on green card eligibility, public benefits, and work authorization for nationals of banned countries.
05:58This approach contrasts with Trump's recent pro-business messaging, where he praised H-1B visas for workers from what he called civilized nations, like Japan and South Korea, citing their role in U.S. manufacturing.
06:15Critics say this split highlights an immigration system that increasingly differentiates between favored and disfavored countries.
06:25For now, the world is waiting for the list.
06:29Diplomatic missions from Africa to Southeast Asia have already begun preparing responses.
06:36Anticipating their nationals may soon be shut out of the United States entirely.
06:42Human rights groups argue the policy relies on stereotypes and collective punishment.
06:49Supporters counter that the U.S. must reassert control of its borders and security.
06:56Whether the administration opts for a targeted expansion or a sweeping ban affecting dozens of countries, officials say the decision will come very soon.
07:10Or theίας of Supreme Court will let the examin.
07:14WWW.S. cannot mow in the U.S.
07:15Or the U.S. is a full-ppurl 어딨.
07:16It's a full-ppurl.
07:17This includes the position of the U.S. and Australian.
