President Trump reinstated a travel ban affecting 12 countries, including Venezuela, Iran, and Afghanistan. Venezuela criticized the US, citing dangers for its citizens, while Somalia pledged cooperation. Other countries, like Myanmar and Laos, have yet to respond. The ban, effective June 9th, also includes a partial ban on travelers from seven additional countries. The White House stated the bans were prompted by a recent attack in Colorado.
