There is the media report that President Donald Trump, has confirmed that the United States has plans on expanding a controversial travel ban to include more countries.
President Trump reportedly revealed this in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The US President, however, did not list the countries that will be included in the new announcement.
US news platform, Politico hinted the announcement was expected on Monday, the three-year anniversary of the original order, which targeted several majority-Muslim nations. The order was announced without warning on January 27, 2017, some days after Trump resumed office as the 45th President of the United States.
The included five majority-Muslim countries are: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.
A senior Trump administration official reportedly said that countries that failed to comply with security requirements, including biometrics, information-sharing and counter-terrorism measures, faced the risk of limitations on U.S. immigration.
Belarus, Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania are among the countries that may be included in the lists.
