President Trump is banning travelers from 12 countries and partially restricting travelers from seven others, starting on Monday, June 9, a measure he said was necessary for national security.

Trump had campaigned on a promise to restore the first-term travel ban that he had put in place for Muslim-majority countries, and said on Thursday that the measure "can't come soon enough.

"We want to get them out. We want to get them out now. We don't want to have other bad people coming into our country," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

The White House said the countries on the new list lacked screening and vetting capabilities.

Here is the list of countries affected by the ban
