The resurrection of the travel ban by Donald Trump is expected to negatively impact the travel and tourism industries, particularly for airlines and hospitality sectors in the United States. It could also lead to decreased international business travel and investment from the affected countries, potentially causing a minor drag on economic activity.
President Donald Trump has resurrected his first-term travel ban policy, signing a proclamation on Wednesday night that prevents individuals from twelve countries—Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen—from entering the United States. Additionally, heightened restrictions will be placed on visitors from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. The ban, which takes effect on Monday, June 9, 2025, is justified by Donald Trump on national security grounds. This action follows a January 20 executive order requiring the United States — United States Department of State, United States — United States Department of Homeland Security, and the United States — Director of National Intelligence to assess national security risks from various countries. The previous travel ban, implemented in 2017, targeted seven predominantly Muslim countries and was upheld by the United States — Supreme Court of the United States in 2018 before being repealed by Joe Biden in 2021.
