"The Trump administration also fully restricted entry for people with travel documents issued by the Palestinian Authority. The administration had previously made it nearly impossible for anyone holding a Palestinian Authority passport from receiving travel documents to visit the US for business, work, pleasure or educational purposes. Nationals from Sierra Leone and Laos, who were previously subject to partial travel restrictions, are now fully restricted from entering the US."
President Trump signed a proclamation restricting entry of foreign nationals, with new rules effective January 1. Total bans now apply to nationals of Syria, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and South Sudan, and to holders of Palestinian Authority travel documents. Sierra Leone and Laos moved from partial to full restrictions. Previously banned countries already under full prohibition include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, bringing the total to 19 countries plus the Palestinian Authority. Partial restrictions were added for 15 more countries, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, and for Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and Tonga.
