More countries could be hit with tough travel restrictions to the United States after the ban on people from six mainly Muslim countries expires from tomorrow.
White House and Homeland Security officials said that after a 50-day review, they had identified a number of countries that could not or were not willing to meet US standards for identifying potential terror threats.
Assistant secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, Jonathan Hoffman, said the administration will ensure that the people who travel to the United States are properly vetted and those that do not belong to the United States are not allowed to enter.
Counselor to the secretary of Homeland Security, Miles Taylor said the goal is not to indefinitely block certain nationals from coming to the United States but to protect Americans until foreign governments do comply with our standards and no longer pose a risk to the welfare and the security of the United States.
