WASHINGTON, June 15. /TASS/. The administration of US President Donald Trump may ban or restrict the entry to the United States for nationals of 36 countries more, The Washington Post said, with internal documents of the US State Department at its disposal.
According to the news outlet, the list of countries, whose citizens may face the ban for receiving US visas or other restrictions, comprise 25 African countries, including Egypt and Djibouti, and countries of Central Asia and the Caribbean region.

Furthermore, partial restrictions will be in effect against nationals of Burundi, Venezuela, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo and Turkmenistan.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova earlier said that the treaty provides for various forms of bilateral cooperation.

He recalled that the treaty was ratified by both chambers of the Russian parliament, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed it. At the same time, the document was ratified by the Iranian parliament, approved by the Guardian Council, and the president issued it as a law.
