US President Donald Trump has issued a travel restriction order against six new countries.

According to the information center of national elites foundation, quoted by technology and innovation analytical news database, US President signed travel restriction plan for nationals of Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Eritrea, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania.

Under the order, the new restrictions on travel to the United States have led to the suspension of visas and permanent residence for nationals.

Since last year, Trump has imposed travel restrictions on seven other countries, including Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen.

Trump travel ban has had significant effect on Iranian green card, in a way that green card issuance for Iranian nationals has fallen sharply in the period 2017-2019, reducing from 7,000 green cards issued in 2017 to less than 2,000 cards in 2019.

The issue of US visas for Iranian students and scholars has declined sharply in recent months as political tensions between Iran and the United States intensified. This restriction applies even to people who have previously been granted a valid visa and have encountered serious problems when entering the country.

Accordingly, the US Federal Department of Immigration has examined the immigration information of five countries of Iranian, Libyan, Somali, Syrian and Yemeni, which has dropped sharply on the basis of green card issuance for Iranian nationals during 2017-2019.

Chad Wolfe, the temporary secretary of US homeland security, stated: the countries included in the new plan have failed to provide the United States with a view to security measures and information sharing, and this has led to new restrictions.

This American authority continued: Belarus has taken steps to address US security concerns in recent months, so visa restrictions will not apply to its nationals.
