# The African Union has expressed concern over a new US travel ban on several countries, while Somalis were indignant at being among the seven African nations singled out by the Trump administration. President Donald Trump signed a decree banning citizens from Somalia, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Haiti and Iran from travelling to the United States. In a statement, the AU said the ban would harm people-to-people ties, educational exchange, commercial engagement, and broader diplomatic relations built with the US over decades.
