List Of European Countries That Have Just Been Banned From Entering The US

In retaliation, Trump warned that he would impose 10% tariffs on six EU nations if no agreement on Greenland is reached, with the possibility of increasing those tariffs to 25% by July.

The President has insisted there is ‘no going back’ on the proposal, arguing that ‘Greenland is imperative for national and world security.’

He declared: “Now it is time, and it will be done!!!”

Why is Trump barring countries from the US?
As part of a broader effort to curb illegal immigration, the Trump administration has expanded its measures even further.

The President has now restricted immigration from 75 countries worldwide, including six nations in Europe.

Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has tightened border controls and defended the travel ban as a necessary response to what his administration describes as ‘failures’ in foreign screening and vetting processes.

Additional justifications include high rates of visa overstays, unreliable civil documentation, terrorism-related concerns, and insufficient cooperation from certain governments in accepting deported nationals.

Public reaction to the ban
Reactions to the policy have been sharply divided. Supporters aligned with MAGA have praised the move as fulfilling campaign promises, while critics warn it could unfairly affect innocent individuals.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote: “This is about national security and rule of law, not politics.

“Every country has the right to control its borders, vet entrants and pause travel when risks are high. America first means protecting Americans first.”

Another commenter added: “America really locked the doors, Trump is making ‘closed for business’ official.”

A third warned: “Including family members of citizens is going to separate a lot of people. This is definitely going to spark some huge legal battles soon.”

There has also been concern about how the restrictions might affect fans hoping to attend the FIFA World Cup, which the U.S. will co-host this year alongside Canada and Mexico.

Journalist Piers Morgan, a long-time associate of the President, suggested: “Maybe England, France, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, Norway and Italy should all pause participation in the World Cup while the various tariff negotiations continue with President Trump?”

What does the ban involve?
According to officials, the restrictions target applicants considered likely to become a ‘public charge’—individuals believed to be at risk of relying on government assistance.

However, the impact varies by country.

The suspension primarily affects foreign nationals applying for immigrant visas through sponsorship and does not apply to people seeking non-immigrant visas, such as tourist or short-term business travel.
