Trump’s Travel ban on Libya takes effect

The Trump administration’s new travel ban targeting Libya has come into effect, fully restricting Libyan citizens from entering the United States.

According to the Guardian, the ban, implemented at midnight ET on 9th of June, impacts Libya among a dozen countries facing entry restrictions. Trump claims the restrictions are related to terrorism and public safety concerns, citing deficient screening processes.

While the administration argues national security, critics contend the policy disproportionately targets non-white, developing nations. The move reflects ongoing geopolitical tensions and raises significant challenges for Libyan nationals seeking opportunities or entry into the United States.
