US officials said the travel restrictions would be broader than the curbs imposed during the first term of Donald Trump, when he banned travellers from seven majority-Muslim nations.

The Trump administration considers visa restrictions on 41 countries, including Pakistan, citing security risks.

The third group includes 26 countries like Pakistan, Bhutan and Myanmar. As per memo, these countries would be considered for a partial suspension of US visa issuance if their governments "do not make efforts to address deficiencies within 60 days".

Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bhutan are among 43 countries that may face a travel ban to the United States as the Trump administration works to limit illegal immigration, according to a draft seen by Reuters.

The Trump administration is considering issuing sweeping travel restrictions for the citizens of dozens of countries as part of a new ban, according to sources familiar with the matter and an internal memo seen by Reuters.

The Trump administration is finalizing a new travel ban that would be broader than the ones issued during Trump’s first term. The ban, enacted under an executive order titled "Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other," aims to prevent individuals deemed as national security risks from entering the U.S.
