President Donald Trump has announced that he is considering extending a travel ban to an additional 36 countries after restricting entry from 19 nations into the United States. Earlier this month, Trump imposed a full ban on nationals from 12 countries and partial restrictions on visitors from an additional seven countries as part of an ongoing effort to eliminate foreign threats and secure the United States' borders.

President Donald Trump's administration is considering significantly expanding its travel restrictions, according to an internal cable seen by Reuters.

The administration gave the nations 60 days to fix concerns, according to a State Department cable. The president already imposed a full or partial ban on citizens of 19 countries.
