Trump's 2025 Travel Ban

Written By Courtney Heidorn

With international travel under fire, it is more important now than ever to support global music.

USA Today reports that several countries are on Trump’s travel ban, starting June 9th. Although this is not official yet—the courts will most likely challenge this action—it is still necessary to support the countries that are feeling this hatred.

Foreign nationals from the following countries are restricted and limited from entering the country, per the proclamation:

  • Afghanistan

  • Burma

  • Chad

  • Republic of the Congo

  • Equatorial Guinea

  • Eritrea

  • Haiti

  • Iran

  • Libya

  • Somalia

  • Sudan

  • Yemen

The following countries are under a partial travel suspension:

  • Burundi

  • Cuba

  • Laos

  • Sierra Leone

  • Togo

  • Turkmenistan

  • Venezuela

We’ve created a playlist on our YouTube channel that highlights musicians and bands from these countries. Please, watch these videos, support these artists, and share with your friends. Together, we can fight xenophobia and cultivate empathy through music.
