EU Condemns US Travel Ban on Thierry Breton and Four Other Europeans The European Commission has strongly condemned the United States’ decision to impose travel restrictions on five European individuals, including former European Commissioner Thierry Breton. The EU stated that the move undermines shared democratic principles, including freedom of expression, and emphasized that its regulatory framework is fair and non-discriminatory. Brussels has engaged Washington for clarifications and warned of possible countermeasures to defend EU regulatory autonomy. #EU #UnitedStates #TravelBan #ThierryBreton #EuropeanCommission

Trump Imposes Full Travel Bans On Seven More Countries US President Donald Trump has expanded America’s travel restrictions, announcing a full ban on nationals of seven additional countries, including Syria, as well as holders of Palestinian Authority passports. The White House said the decision is aimed at blocking foreigners who may “intend to threaten” Americans or seek to “undermine or destabilize” US culture, government, institutions, or founding principles. The proclamation reflects Trump’s long-standing hardline stance on immigration and national security. The move comes just days after two US troops and a civilian were killed in Syria. Although Trump has recently pushed to reintegrate Syria into the international community following the fall of longtime leader Bashar al-Assad, the attack has heightened security concerns. Syrian authorities claimed the suspect was a security officer facing dismissal over “extremist Islamist ideas.” The expanded ban is expected to spark fresh debate both within the United States and internationally over security, immigration, and foreign policy. #Trump #TravelBan #USPolitics #WorldNews
