What are the new countries on Trump's latest travel ban list?

By Marisa Schultz | Fox News


President Trump announced on Jan. 31 he’ll expand the existing travel ban to six more countries. They are added to the current seven countries currently under travel restrictions: Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.

What countries are added to the travel restrictions?

Presidential Proclamation 9983 restricts the issuance of immigrant visas  -- for those seeking to live or work in the U.S. permanently – from nationals from Burma, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan and Nigeria. Trump’s proclamation also suspends the diversity visa lottery program for nationals of Tanzania and Sudan. These new restrictions will not apply to tourist, business or other nonimmigrant travel.

Why did the Trump administration expand the travel ban?
