Donald Trump, the US President, recently described Afghanistan, Haiti, and Somalia as “hell” and announced a permanent halt to immigration from “third world” countries.
He stated that the US should instead accept immigrants from countries like Sweden and Norway.
Under the new policy, all immigration applications from Afghans and 18 other countries—including green cards and citizenship—have been suspended.
This decision followed an attack in Washington, where an Afghan man was identified as a suspect.
Since returning to power in January, Trump has enforced stricter immigration policies, especially targeting Afghans.
This move has sparked widespread international reactions and concerns about its impact on Afghan migrants.
