The administration of US President Donald Trump is considering a new travel ban that would impose varying levels of restrictions on citizens from dozens of countries, the New York Times reported on Friday.

Citing anonymous officials, the report stated that a draft list includes 43 countries, divided into three categories of travel restrictions.

The red category, comprising countries whose citizens would be entirely barred from entering the United States, includes Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.

The orange category consists of 10 countries—Belarus, Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Russia, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan—whose citizens would face strict visa restrictions. The report noted that affluent business travelers from these nations might be allowed entry, but immigrant and tourist visa applicants would be denied. Additionally, citizens from these countries would be required to undergo in-person interviews for visa approval.

A further 22 countries fall under the yellow category, giving them 60 days to address US concerns or risk being moved into a stricter category.

Officials, speaking anonymously, cautioned that the list was developed by the State Department weeks ago and could undergo changes before reaching the White House.

One of Trump’s earliest actions in office was freezing the US refugee admission program and cutting nearly all foreign aid. He also directed the government to identify countries whose nationals should be barred from entering the US on security grounds, a move reminiscent of the controversial “Muslim ban” from his first term.

The 2017 ban targeted citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, triggering international outrage and legal challenges. While Iraq and Sudan were later removed from the list, in 2018, the US Supreme Court upheld a revised version that maintained restrictions on Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen while adding North Korea and Venezuela.
