The memo lists 41 countries under the potential travel ban under three categories: full visa suspension, partial visa suspension which would affect tourists, students and a few other types of visas, and partial suspension for countries if they do not address certain “deficiencies”.
During his first term in office, Donald Trump had imposed a travel ban on seven Islamic countries, which had been upheld by the Supreme Court.
Later, former President Biden had revoked the order, calling it a taint on the “political conscience” of the nation.
