 Burkina Faso, Mali impose visa bans on US citizens in retaliation

Bans take effect


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

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.
