According to the report, the memo signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and sent to US diplomats on Saturday, June 14, 2025, states that the governments of the listed countries have 60 days to meet Department of State requirements.
Two weeks ago, Trump signed an order that restricts the nationals of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from entering the US.
Nationals from another seven countries – Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela – will face partial travel restrictions. President Trump said the list could be revised if “material improvements” were made, while other countries could be added as “threats emerge around the world”.
According to the memo, the State Department alleged that some of the countries mentioned have not met various benchmarks, such as “no competent or cooperative central government authority” to provide reliable identity documents or a large number of citizens who have violated the terms of their visas.
