US President Donald Trump’s administration is considering to impose new entry restrictions on citizens of 43 countries.

The list may include Russia and Belarus as well as several countries from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

With this, the Trump government plans to broaden the restrictions imposed during his first time. 

According to media, US diplomatic and security officials laid out a draft list recommending the list of countries whose nationals will be under the radar.

The red category has 11 countries whose citizens would be barred from entering the United States. These nations are; Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. 

The "orange" list includes 10 countries, where travel to the US will be heavily restricted. 

Citizens from 22 countries on the "yellow" list will be given 60 days to address identified issues, with the threat of being moved to one of the other lists if the requirements are not met.
