Donald Trump is debating adding another 36 countries to US travel ban list

Trump is considering adding another 36 countries to his no travel list, including African and Caribbean nations

The memo, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, states that governments of the mentioned nations have 60 days to meet new requirements set out by the State Department.

Among the listed nations, are some major US partners such as Egypt and Djibouti.

According to the State Department, some of the countries specified do not meet several benchmarks, including “no competent or cooperative central government authority” to provide reliable identity documents or a multitude of citizens who have allegedly violated the terms of their visas.

The memorandum did include a caveat stating that if a nation is willing to accept third-country nationals who are being removed from the United States, it could work in favour of easing other concerns.

Among the 36 countries considered, 25 are countries in Africa: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Egypt, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Several Caribbean nations have also been mentioned: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Lucia.

Four Asian countries are on the list: Bhutan, Cambodia, Kyrgyzstan, and Syria; as well as three countries in Oceania: Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.

The listed countries have until 8 am Wednesday to provide a plan of action to meet new requirements.

However, it's unclear if the travel ban is effective immediately after this deadline.

According to a spokesperson for the Department of State, the department is continuously reevaluating policies to ensure the safety of Americans and to make sure foreign nationals abide by the law, per The Independent.
