The US president ordered his cabinet to create a list of countries with inadequate “vetting and screening” processess after promising to restore his previous travel ban on day one back in office.

The January 20 executive order pertains to countries “for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries”. Mr Trump’s list is due to be completed within 60 days of the executive order, meaning it could be released at the end of March. However, a new memo reportedly shows a list of 41 countries split into three categories based on the severity of the ban, going from full visa ban to countries recommended for partial visa ban.
