United States President Donald Trump's administration is considering extending its travel restrictions to nationals from 36 more countries, according to a report by news agency Reuters. Authorities in the US have raised a range of issues concerning the three dozen nations and sought corrective action against them, the agency reported citing a memo signed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. "The (US State) Department has identified 36 countries of concern that might be recommended for full or partial suspension of entry if they do not meet established benchmarks and requirements within 60 days," the internal document said.
Issues raised by officials
According to the document, US government officials have expressed concerns regarding the lack of a capable or cooperative government in many of the countries in question. This affects the production of reliable identity documents, it said. Further, there were doubts over the "questionable security" of some countries' passports.
Besides, some of the listed countries were not cooperative in facilitating the deportation of their nationals from the US, while citizens of some countries were staying beyond their visa expiry dates.
Previous ban order
In a sweeping order announced last week, the Trump administration had barred the entry of citizens from 12 countries into the US, while limiting travel from seven other nations.
The countries that have been slapped with a full travel ban include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Those hit with a partial ban are Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.
