  • The U.S. State Department has announced a suspension of immigrant visa processing for citizens of 75 countries that the Trump administration believes are likely to depend on public assistance in the United States.
  • The affected nations include Afghanistan, Iran, Russia and Somalia. The move expands earlier immigration and travel restrictions imposed on nearly 40 countries and reflects President Donald Trump’s continued push to tighten entry requirements for foreign nationals.
