United States President Donald Trump has expanded the country's travel ban to include nationals from seven additional countries, such as Syria and holders of Palestinian Authority passports. The White House stated that the move is intended to prevent individuals who could threaten the nation's stability and core values. The decision follows recent violence in Syria and comes amid shifting diplomatic relations in the region. Several African and Caribbean countries now face either full or partial travel restrictions, while Somalia and a number of other nations remain on the list of those completely barred from entering the United States.
