The Trump administration is replacing its controversial travel ban with a new set of restrictions. The key portion of Trump’s travel ban, which bars the issuance of visas to citizens of six majority-Muslim countries, is set to expire Sunday. The latest measures would mark the third iteration of Trump’s effort to restrict entry of foreign travelers to the United States. In assessing vetting procedures, U.S. officials established a new “baseline” for the information officials want about foreigners hoping to come to the United States, Taylor said. He said those are the countries that are likely to face restrictions, although the restrictions could be lifted if conditions changed.
