Les Etats-Unis gèlent les procédures de visas d'immigrants pour 75 pays
The United States announced on Wednesday a freeze for 75 countries on all immigrant visa procedures, intended for people who plan to reside there permanently, as part of the fight against immigration launched by Donald Trump since his return to power.
"The Trump administration is putting an end to the abuse of the U.S. immigration system by those who seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the American people," said Tommy Pigott, a spokesman for the State Department.
"The processing of immigrant visas from these 75 countries will be suspended while the State Department re-evaluates immigration procedures to prevent the entry of foreign nationals who may be eligible for social assistance and public benefits," he added in an email.
Previously, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt had reshared on X an article published on the Fox News website.
The measure applies to immigrant visas, as opposed to non-immigrant visas which allow temporary entry into the United States, and concerns, among others, applications from nationals of Somalia, Russia, Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Thailand and Yemen.
The State Department did not immediately release the full list of affected countries.
The freeze will begin on January 21 with no specific end date, a US official said on condition of anonymity.
The American president makes no secret of his desire to reduce immigration of people who are not of European origin.
He called Somalis "trash" who should "go back where they came from" and said he was open to the idea of Scandinavians settling in the United States.
The State Department announced Monday that it had revoked more than 100,000 visas since Trump's return, a record in one year.
Last month, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that the Trump administration had deported more than 605,000 people and that another 2.5 million had left of their own accord.
This latest measure does not affect tourist or business visas, nor therefore fans wishing to attend the football World Cup next summer in the United States, although the Trump administration has pledged to check the social media history of all applicants.

GNEW...est pris qui croyait prendre. TRUMP dans ses délires croyait pouvoir tromper son mode en instaurant des visas à 15000 Dollars. pour renflouer les caisses de l'Oncle SAM qui étaient désespérément VIDES. sans en avoir l'air.
Et voilà que la source des demandeurs de VISAS s'est tarie . Et donc en toute urgence RETROPEDALAGE TOUTE HONTE BUE.. ..On attend la suite qui sera passionnante.. JAJEFF//
