PRESIDENT of the United States President Donald Trump has stated plans to impose a travel ban on 43 countries.
According to a report on Saturday, Reuters cited an internal memo and officials familiar with the matter.
The memo lists a total of 43 countries divided into three groups: red, orange, and yellow.
Although the list has yet to be approved by the Trump administration, it comprises several African countries, with African economic powerhouses like Nigeria, South Africa, Algeria and Egypt excluded.
The red group consists of 11 countries- Afghanistan, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Cuba, Bhutan, Venezuela, North Korea, Yemen, and Somalia- whose nationals would be barred from entering the US.
The orange group comprises 10 countries whose visas would be sharply restricted. They include Russia, Belarus, Myanmar, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Pakistan, Laos, Turkmenistan, Haiti, and Eritrea.
