Full list of countries considered for Trump's potential new travel ban

The Trump administration is reportedly finalising a sweeping new travel restriction policy that could severely impact citizens from 41 countries. The proposal divides nations into three categories, each with varying levels of restrictions. Here's the full list of counties on the list.
News of the policy, first reported by The New York Times, has caused widespread concern among prospective travelers and immigrants. Though still in draft form, the restrictions are expected to be finalised soon, as they stem from a January 20 executive order by President Trump, which gave the State Department 60 days to implement the ban. This means the policy could take effect within the next week.
The red list
The "red list" includes Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Bhutan. Citizens from these countries would be entirely barred from entering the US under the proposed policy.
The orange list
The "orange list," which includes Russia, Pakistan, and Myanmar, would allow limited entry, with short-term non-immigrant visas available only after in-person interviews.
The yellow list
The "yellow list," mostly made up of African and Caribbean countries, would have 60 days to address security concerns. If they fail to comply, they risk being moved to the orange or red lists.

Trump's first travel ban, implemented during his first term, was challenged in court but ultimately upheld by the US Supreme Court. It was later revoked by President Joe Biden, who called it a “stain on our national conscience.” However, Trump repeatedly vowed during his campaign to reinstate and expand the ban if re-elected.
On his first day back in office in the second term, Trump signed an executive order reinstating travel restrictions, arguing that the measure was necessary to protect Americans from potential threats. "We must safeguard our country from those who wish to harm us, exploit our immigration system, or spread hateful ideologies," Trump said in a statement.
