(REUTERS) – President Donald Trump on Tuesday expanded a list of countries subject to a full travel ban, prohibiting citizens from an additional seven countries, including Syria, from entering the United States.

The White House said in a statement that Trump signed a proclamation “expanding and strengthening entry restrictions on nationals from countries with demonstrated, persistent, and severe deficiencies in screening, vetting, and information-sharing to protect the Nation from national security and public safety threats.”
Tuesday’s move banned citizens from Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Syria and those holding Palestinian Authority-issued travel documents. The action also imposes a full ban on Laos and Sierra Leone, which had previously only been subject to partial restrictions.
The White House said the expanded ban goes into effect on January 1.
The action comes despite Trump’s vow to do everything he could to make Syria successful after landmark talks in November with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former al Qaeda commander who until recently was sanctioned by Washington as a foreign terrorist.
Trump has backed Sharaa, whose visit capped a stunning year for the rebel-turned-ruler who toppled longtime autocratic leader Bashar al-Assad and has since traveled the world trying to depict himself as a moderate leader who wants to unify his war-ravaged nation and end its decades of international isolation.
But in a post on his Truth Social platform on Saturday, Trump vowed “very serious retaliation” after the U.S. military said two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in Syria by a suspected Islamic State attacker who targeted a convoy of American and Syrian forces before being shot dead. He described the incident in remarks to reporters as a “terrible” attack.
The White House cited visa overstay rates for Syria in its justification for the ban.
“Syria is emerging from a protracted period of civil unrest and internal strife. While the country is working to address its security challenges in close coordination with the United States, Syria still lacks an adequate central authority for issuing passports or civil documents and does not have appropriate screening and vetting measures,” the White House said.
Trump signed a proclamation in June banning the citizens of 12 countries from entering the United States and restricting those from seven others, saying it was needed to protect against “foreign terrorists” and other security threats. The bans apply to both immigrants and non-immigrants, such as tourists, students and business travelers.
The travel ban remains on those twelve countries, the White House said.
Trump also added partial restrictions and entry limitations on an additional 15 countries, including Nigeria, which is under scrutiny from Trump, who in early November threatened military action over the treatment of Christians in the country.
Nigeria says claims that Christians face persecution misrepresent a complex security situation and do not take into account efforts to safeguard religious freedom.
Since returning to office in January, Trump has aggressively prioritized immigration enforcement, sending federal agents to major U.S. cities and turning away asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The expansion of the countries subject to entry restrictions marks a further escalation of immigration measures the administration has taken since the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., last month.
Investigators say the shooting was carried out by an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 through a resettlement program under which Trump administration officials have argued there was insufficient vetting.
Days after the shooting, Trump vowed to “permanently pause” migration from all “Third World Countries,” although he did not identify any by name or define the term.

Lord, you allow leaders in to lead & dispose of them. Just as you moved the hearts of King Cyrus & Artaxerxes, move in President Trump’s heart and his decision making. Allow his relationship with you to grow while you also give him your Godly Wisdom, Discernment & Favor. Protect him & his administration as they move to make America & American’s safe. Also give him Peace as he sits in the same room & meets with America’s enemy. This is NOT an easy job but you have allowed him to be at the helm for a time such as this. We praise you, ask that your will be done & that you protect our President. Amen
I was a toddler when my young father was killed in WWII, so I had no Father for my entire life. I read in the Bible that even GOD chose war as a solution to some situations but we do need to be absolutely sure that it is GOD who is calling for the war and not men. It is a puzzle to me why GOD allows such terrible wickedness that only a war can put an end to it. In the meantime, we can certainly pray for GOD’s divine intervention so that little innocent children won’t lose their Daddy.
My heart breaks for you Mari.
My dad lost the use of his right arm in wwII, and lost a lung as well. I pray that no child would lose their daddy.
War is necessary due to our fallen state in this life, not to make it sound simplistically cruel.
I wish it wee not so as well.
thank yo for your gracious heart sister in Christ
Our Father which art in heaven, as I pray for your will to be done on Earth, I pray that you will use President Trump as you did King David to unite Israel. Just as David was a man with significant flaws, Donald Trump is a man with significant flaws. I pray you will give him the wisdom to do what is right in your eyes for the United States and the World.
For give us Father as we have all sinned and fallen short of your glory. In Jesus name, Amen.
Blessed are you oh Lord, our God , King of the Universe, for hearing our prayers. We ask for your blessings of wisdom and strength over President Trumps decisions in all things. Provide Angel Armies around him and his administration for protection and open the spiritual eyes of all who work with him. We ask these things in Jesus mighty name !
Lord,
Thank you for blessing us with President Trump and his Cabinet for bringing this nation under your leadership again. Continue drawing him to yourself until he surrenders his heart to Jesus as his Lord and savior.
Lord, have President Trump shorten the travel ban to Sierra Leon so the Smithsonnia Home board, of which I am a member, can continue our ministry to our Children’s Home in that country. Thank you for all the blessings you are bestowing on these children. Thank you for blessing them and the surrounding community.
—In the holy and powerful name of Jesus Christ, amen
of course the liberals are going to be against this because they do not care about this country being safe and they do not care about the American citizen or taxpayer
thank God we have a president who does care about us
Lord Jesus, I pray that President Trump will continue to seek Your guidance and wisdom in EVERYTHING that he proposes. Setting travel bans with Arab countries, is, in my opinion, a necessity, especially a nation that is run by a former al Quieda member. It is high time that Pres. Trump stops trying to be friends with these Islamic countries. He needs to instead focus on the ways that the Chinese Communist Party is attempting to destroy our nation. This is a much bigger priority.
My wife and I pray that President Trump will follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit in all that he does concerning this matter.
So thankful for our president who is doing what is necessary to protect us. May God bless and protect him, his administration, all of our leaders who are leading as the Lord guides, them and all their staffs and families. May all our leaders that are not following Jesus, repent and be saved, in Jesus name, amen!
God Bless President Trump & keep him safe and give hime the power & wisdom as he continues to put this tilted ship0 of state upright & lead our country forward & upward in accordance with your directives Oh, Lord, through Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
