The Donald Trump administration is considering imposing a new travel ban that could affect citizens from as many as 43 countries, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Russia. 
 
A draft list of recommendations by security officials proposes categorising countries into three groups — Red, Orange, and Yellow — to restrict travel. Being placed on the Red List would mean a complete ban on entering the United States. 
 
Pakistan and Russia are included in the “Orange List,” which consists of 10 countries facing restricted travel rather than an outright ban. 
 
Other countries in the “Orange List” include Myanmar, Belarus, Haiti, Laos, Eritrea, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Turkmenistan. 
 
The draft also places 10 countries,



including Afghanistan and Bhutan, on the Red List, meaning their citizens could face a full visa suspension. 
 
The other countries on the Red List are Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. The proposal also includes a draft yellow list of 22 countries that would be given 60 days to clear up perceived deficiencies, with the threat of being moved onto one of the other lists if they did not comply.
 
That list includes Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Dominica, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, Sao Tome and Principe, Vanuatu and Zimbabwe.
