The Trump administration is considering targeting the citizens of as many as 43 countries as part of a new ban on travel to the United States that would be broader than the restrictions imposed during President Trump’s first term, according to officials familiar with the matter.
A draft list of recommendations developed by diplomatic and security officials suggests a “red” list of 11 countries whose citizens would be flatly barred from entering the United States. They are Afghanistan, Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen, the officials said.

"This list comprises four Caribbean nations: Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, and Saint Lucia. The government’s concerns that resulted in these islands being placed on the list may involve perceived security threats associated with their citizenship by investment programs and the potential for these programs to create loopholes for individuals from banned countries to gain entry into the United States using a CIP-granted passport."

Who says they have to do entirely without T&T?
A VISA restriction doesn't have to stop all trade.
In 2024, U.S. total goods trade with Venezuela reached an estimated $10.2 billion, with exports at $4.2 billion and imports at $6.0 billion, resulting in a $1.8 billion trade deficit for the U.S.

Zoom,
Who controls the Congress?
Republicans?
How does that work? A vote or something?

Yet still, the minorities are the most educated while white folk fall behind.
