Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred fresh controversy by announcing that he intends to restrict entry for individuals coming from what he referred to as “third world countries.” Speaking at a public event, Trump argued that the United States must tighten its borders and prioritize domestic stability.
His remarks immediately drew sharp criticism from human rights groups and several international observers, who called the language discriminatory and damaging to America’s global image. They warned that such policies could isolate the United States and hinder international cooperation.
Political analysts say Trump’s statement appears to be aimed at energizing his support base ahead of the upcoming political season, as immigration has long been one of his signature talking points. Meanwhile, U.S. officials have clarified that no formal policy change has been announced at the federal level.
The comments have sparked debate across the U.S., particularly among communities with large immigrant populations, who fear that stricter measures could create further uncertainty for families.
