The Trump government is planning to stop people from many countries from traveling to the United States. A government paper seen by Reuters and some people who know about this plan say that new travel rules may be coming soon. These rules could make it very hard, or even impossible, for people from certain countries to enter the US.

A US government worker, who did not want to share their name, said the list of countries is not final yet. The names could change, and the plan has not been fully accepted. Even the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has not given his full support.

The government paper puts 41 countries into three different groups.

Countries That May Be Banned Completely
People from these countries may not get any kind of visa to visit the US:

Afghanistan
Cuba

In these countries, people may still get some visas, but tourist and student visas may be blocked:
