Trump Suspends US Green Card Lottery, Expands Travel Restrictions to 15 Countries

President Trump has suspended the US Green Card Lottery and expanded travel restrictions to 15 countries, including Nigeria, as part of efforts to tighten entry standards. The move follows the tragic incident involving Claudio Neve Valent, a Portuguese national who arrived in the US on a student visa in 2000 and later became a permanent resident.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed the developments. The new proclamation significantly impacts immigration policies and restricts entry for various visa categories.
