Trump’s Springtime Travel Ban Playbook: Stricter Vetting, Targeted Restrictions

President orders a 60-day review that could lead to fresh visa bans—experts warn it may be more aggressive than before.

WASHINGTON — On January 20th, President Donald Trump signed a new executive order that could lead to another travel ban, similar to the controversial one he issued during his first term. While no immediate restrictions have been announced, the order gives officials 60 days to review security procedures and identify countries that it may deem risky, potentially setting the stage for new travel bans or visa restrictions.
