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. An office memo on this topic was signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and sent to diplomats responsible for countries in the list.
Trump earlier banned nationals of twelve countries from entering the United States and introduced restrictions for residents of seven other countries. The full ban will be in effect in respect of citizens of Afghanistan, Haiti, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Myanmar, the Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sudan, Chad, Equatorial Guinea and Eritrea. 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.
The comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran has entered into force, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali told Sputnik.
"It is already binding," Jalali said when asked about the date of entry into force of the agreement, as well as whether Iran had notified Russia of the completion of internal procedures.
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.
