State Dept begins fully implementing Trump's travel ban

The U.S. on Friday began fully implementing the so-called "travel ban," an initiative by President Trump to restrict travelers from select countries entering the U.S.

In a press release, the State Department announced that it would begin implementing the ban on travel from nationals of Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Somalia, Venezuela and Yemen after the Supreme Court reinstated the third version of Trump's executive order on Monday.

"The restrictions are conditional and may be lifted as countries work with the U.S. government to ensure the safety of Americans," the statement said. "Most countries in the world now meet the new requirements, which is an important element of ensuring our security." LINK
