Trump's Expanded Travel Ban Now Affects 39 Countries, Including Key Regions
Africa has been significantly impacted by Trump's expanded travel restrictions, affecting 20 countries, with largely muted reactions from the continent as nations consider their next steps. The African Union expressed concerns about the negative effects on diplomatic and people-to-people ties, while some countries hope for engagement with the U.S. to review the measures. Critics view the restrictions as unfair and potentially damaging to U.S.-Africa relations, with fears of increased geopolitical competition from rivals like Russia and China.
