• “There’s no [travel ban] List, ”says State Dept Spox Tammy Bruce.
• Says administration who wants to keep us safe regarding visa issuance.
• Reports suggest that Washington has compiled draft list of 41 countries.

Washington: In the midst of very hyped speculation about possible travel restrictions by President Donald Trump’s administration, the US State Department has excluded the existence of any travel ban.

“There is no list. What people are looking at over the past several days is not a list that is found here,” spokesman for the Tammy Bruce State Department said during a media briefing while answering a question relating to Afghanistan’s status on the alleged travel ban on travel.

The spokesman’s counter -movement comes days after a draft list of the names of 41 countries – including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iranm and others – divided into three separate groups that would be exposed to different degrees of travel restrictions.

On the list, according to the note that was seen by ReutersPakistan was included in a group that would be considered for a partial suspension of visa issuance if their governments “do not strive to tackle deficiencies within 60 days”.

The first group of 10 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba and North Korea, would be set to a full visa pension.

In the second group, five countries – Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar and South Sudan – would face partial suspensions that would affect tourist and students on tourist and students as well as other immigrant visas with some exceptions.

In the third group, a total of 26 countries, including Belarus, Pakistan and Turkmenistan, among other things, would be considered a partial suspension of US visa issues if their governments could not tackle relevant deficiencies within 60 days.

An American official who spoke on condition of anonymity warned that there could be changes on the list and that it was not yet approved by the administration, including US State Secretary Marco Rubio.

The move reflects the ban during Trump’s first presidential term for travelers from seven majority Muslim nations, a policy that underwent several iterations before it was maintained by the Supreme Court in 2018.

Trump issued an executive order on January 20 that required intensified security examination by any foreigners seeking admission to the United States to detect national security threats.

State Dept Official Bruce, expanded on the reports of the alleged travel restriction restrictions, said there was a review, through President Trump’s executive order, to the administration “to look at the nature of what will help keep America more secure in dealing with the question of Visas and who is allowed the country”.

“But what has been declared as something that is a topic through the state department is simply not the case,” she did further.
