"The Government of Burkina Faso remains committed to mutual respect, the sovereign equality of States and the principle of reciprocity in its international relations," the statement stressed, adding that the West African country "remains open to cooperation based on respect for mutual interests with all of its partners.’’


Bans take effect


Mali and Niger have also retaliated against the US travel ban.


"In accordance with the principle of reciprocity, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation informs the national and international community that, with immediate effect, the Government of the Republic of Mali will apply the same conditions and requirements to US nationals as those imposed on Malian citizens," the Malian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.


US President Donald Trump had announced travel restrictions including a total ban or partial ban on 39 countries, most of them in Africa.


The decision, which is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, prohibits citizens of the affected countries from entering the US.
