The “travel ban” is the colloquial name for President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 13769, which placed severe restrictions on travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries. The order, which was issued in January of 2017, caused widespread chaos and confusion at airports around the world, and was eventually overturned by the courts.
However, some people believe that the travel ban was in violation of the Constitution and argue that it was simply part of an anti-Muslim agenda. There are currently seven nations on the travel ban list: Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. Although the ban has been lifted for several of these countries, the Trump administration has indicated that they may reinstate the ban in the future.
As of June 18, 2020, all air passengers travelling to the United States from the People’s Republic of China must provide a negative COVID-19 test result obtained within three days of their flight.
