The Trump administration is considering restricting visas for several UN General Assembly delegations, including Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe, and Brazil. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas's delegation has already been denied visas. Proposed restrictions range from limiting travel outside New York City to banning Iranian diplomats from shopping at Costco and Sam's Club without State Department permission. The move is part of a broader crackdown on visas. However, Syria's delegation received a travel waiver, indicating a shift in US policy towards that nation.
