What is Trump’s 2025 travel ban, who does it affect, and why?

President Donald Trump’s 2025 travel ban, set to take effect at 12:01am on June 9, restricts entry to the US for citizens from 19 countries, with 12 fully banned and 7 under partial restrictions. The policy, officially titled "Presidential Proclamation on Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry," cites national security concerns as the primary reason. While exemptions may apply for diplomats, dual nationals, and those with special waivers, the short lead time is meant to avoid the legal and logistical chaos that occurred in 2017. Do you think this new ban strengthens US security, or does it unfairly impact innocent travelers? Share your views.
