President Trump's travel ban, impacting 19 countries and potentially 36 more, primarily in Africa, is disrupting global health collaboration. Researchers and health workers are barred from attending conferences and sharing crucial expertise, hindering research and disease response. Experts warn this isolation will negatively impact U.S. interests, leaving the country vulnerable to global health threats and undermining its role in international scientific cooperation. The ban affects vital research projects and may lead to the relocation of scientific conferences away from the U.S.
