reports that the United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, disclosed the new us visa ban on Tuesday, November 10.
The new visa ban was described as “first-of-its-kind”.

A State Department’s statement said it would affect wildlife and timber traffickers.

 

According to the statement, wildlife and timber trafficking are serious transnational organized crime activities that threaten national security, undermine economic prosperity, fuel corruption, and spread disease.

The new us visa ban, which relies on section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, is now in effect.

 

The United States said it will help disrupt the movements and business of transnational criminal organizations, making it harder for them to smuggle illegal wildlife and timber.

“The Department of State will also impose restrictions on the immediate family of traffickers who are believed to be complicit or involved in wildlife and timber trafficking”, the statement read.

The United States added that implementation of the new tool was in furtherance of its leadership in strengthening law enforcement, countering corruption, combating organized crime, and protecting our precious natural world.
