From Monday 9th June all citizens from 10 African countries are banned from travelling to the United States.
These are Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Burundi, Sierra Leone and Togo.
Donald Trump’s travel ban is intended to protect Americans from Dangerous foreign actors. There are an additional seven countries whose nationals face partial travel restrictions, including Cuba and Venezuela.
There are some exemptions, including athletes travelling for major sporting events, some Afghan nationals and dual nationals with citizenship in unaffected countries.
The proclamation echoes an order from Trump's first term in 2017, when he announced a ban on travel from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US.
