Countries move to ban aisas for Americans as US expands travel restrictions
General News of Wednesday, 31 December 2025Source: antigua.newsA wave of diplomatic retaliation is emerging across the globe as the United States widens its travel ban and tightens visa restrictions, prompting several nations to respond by targeting American travellers. In recent weeks, the U.S. administration expanded its visa ban policy to 39 countries, including Antigua and Barbuda and other Caribbean and African nations, citing security concerns and alleged immigration overstays. The move sparked immediate condemnation from affected governments and has triggered a shift toward visa reciprocity and defensive foreign policy measures. Earlier this year, Chad also suspended the issuance of visas to U.S. nationals, announcing the move shortly after being named on a previous U.S. travel ban list. The sharp rise in visa conflicts signals a shift away from the international travel norms of recent decades.
