The US further added that the 7 African countries are likely to be banned since they do not adequately vet their citizens before travelling to the U.S.
The other five countries include Sudan Belarus, Eritrea, Myanmar and Kyrgyzstan. Surprisingly, Chad which was banned in April 2018 was not in the list.
