U.S.President Donald Trump has directed restriction of immigration from sixadditional countries, citing security concerns.
Thesix countries includes: Nigeria, Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Sudan andTanzania. The new rules come into effect on February 22.
Therules stop short of a blanket travel ban and will still allow certain visits tothe U.S., notably those for non-immigration purposes, which raised questionsabout how the administration was defining security concerns.
Therestrictions are largely focused on immigration visas that can lead to theability to settle permanently in the U.S., and not on visits for familiarpurposes or for business, in most cases.
Therules are being imposed ahead of elections later this year and come three yearsafter Trump slapped a travel ban on several Muslim-majority nations, sparkingan uproar.
Theban, which was modified, was later upheld by a court ruling.
