Donald Trump is set to ban people from 43 countries from travelling to the US – with visas from Russia being ‘sharply restricted’.

The dramatic memo also sees key allies of Moscow placed under heavy sanctions as Belarusian travellers could see their dreams of travelling Stateside slashed, the New York Times reports.

The explosive immigration proposals come as the US president is wrestling with Putin and Zelensky over a ceasefire in Ukraine – warning last night that World War III could ‘very easily’ erupt if peace talks failed.

Alongside the warring state a vast swathe of nations from across the globe have been told their governments have 60 days to address deficiencies or they will remain on the list.

A memo shows countries divided into three separate groups – including full visa suspensions and partial suspensions.

Many are from the Middle East and Africa, with Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran and North Korea among the 11 who face the most drastic measures.

In the second group, 10 countries would face partial suspensions that would impact tourist and student visas as well as other immigrant visas, with some exceptions.

And in a third group, a total of 22 countries would be considered for a partial suspension of US visa issuance if their governments ‘do not make efforts to address deficiencies within 60 days’, the memo said.

A US official cautioned there could be changes on the list and that it was yet to be approved by the administration, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, after it was reported on by the New York Times.

For many in America, the policy will hark back to Trump’s explosive ‘Muslim ban’ during his first term in office. Some of the countries in the new proposal were also on the 2017 list, but many more are new.
