President Donald Trump’s proclamation cites Chad’s high visa overstay rates in 2022 and 2023 as ‘unacceptable.’
Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby said on June 5 that he had ordered his government to stop issuing visas to U.S. citizens after the Trump administration imposed a travel ban on Chadian nationals.
Chad was among the 12 nations named in President Donald Trump’s June 4 proclamation, which barred their citizens from entering the United States over national security concerns. The proclamation, which took effect on June 9, cited these nations as being “deficient with regards to screening and vetting.”
