Analysis Trump’s new travel ban: what does it mean for North Koreans?In prohibiting DPRK citizens, the U.S. may be gathering leverage for future talks The U.S. government announced a new travel ban on Sunday, including prohibitions against North Korean citizens entering America. President Donald Trump announced the new measures, tweeting that “Making America Safe is my number one priority. We will not admit those into our country we cannot safely vet.” The new travel restrictions are a tailored version of the much maligned and contested March 6 Executive Order that included a temporary travel ban on citizens from eight Muslim-majority nations. That order incited protests and legal challenges from around the country. As soon as the temporary travel restrictions © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
