President Trump wants to stop people from 36 more countries from coming to America. The State Department sent a message to these nations telling them they have 60 days to fix problems. Countries must make their passport systems better and help send back people who break immigration rules. Some nations do not work well with American officials when deportations happen.
The government worries that certain countries cannot make reliable identity papers for their citizens. Officials also think some passport systems are not secure enough to prevent fraud. A few countries have citizens who stay longer than their visas allow or commit terrorist acts.
Angola, Nigeria, Zimbabwe and 33 other nations face possible travel bans if they do not improve their systems. Trump already banned people from 12 countries earlier this year for national security reasons. The president used similar travel restrictions during his first term that courts later approved.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed the diplomatic message that explains what each country must change. Government workers say they constantly review policies to keep Americans safe from foreign threats. The new restrictions could affect millions of people who want to visit or move to America.
