Trump Restricts Immigration — But Not Temporary Visas — For 6 Nations

The video discusses new US visa restrictions affecting Nigeria, Eritrea, Myanmar, Kirghistan, Sudan, and Tanzania. These countries face bans on immigrant visas, while Sudan and Tanzania are excluded from the visa lottery. Temporary visas for business or pleasure remain available. The impact of these changes is expected to be less significant than the 2018 travel ban, which drastically reduced visas for affected countries. The new rules take effect on February 22.
