Trump's travel ban delayed for now. Here's a list of countries on proposed 'red list'

The Trump administration's plan for a travel ban that would prohibit citizens from a list of blacklisted countries from entering the U.S has been postponed.

According to the State Department, there is no timeline for when the travel restriction would be back in place. This ban would fall under an executive order, signed by the president on Jan. 20, titled “Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other,” which is meant to address “national security and public safety threats.”

What happens now? Here's what we know.

State Department: 'There's not a date, it doesn't mean that it's not being worked on.'

During a March 31 press conference, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said the White House is working on a new deadline for travel ban restrictions. The original deadline was set for March 21, but Bruce said that "target date "no longer applies."

"The State Department, like every department in President Trump's administration, are acting on executive orders, including this one," Bruce said.

"Again, because there's not a date, it doesn't mean that it's not being worked on. And so we are all working to implement what President Trump has ordered."

Who works on the travel ban order?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard were expected to provide recommendations and a list of countries that are subject to restrictions.

They originally had a deadline of 60 days from the order to identify such countries and enact the ban.

What countries were considered for the travel ban?

A list of more than 40 countries whose citizens could be barred or limited from entry into the United States is reportedly under consideration.

According to Reuters, the following "red list" countries are considered to be on the travel ban list:

• Sudan
• Venezuela
• Russia
• Somalia
• Syria
• Yemen
• Iran
• Libya
• Cuba
• North Korea

Which countries did the Trump administration previously ban?

During Trump’s first term, his administration created a series of bans against citizens from Muslim-majority countries.

According to NAFSA.org, Trump's first administration had travel bans 3.0 and 4.0. Travel ban 3.0 barred certain citizens of Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and Somalia.

Travel ban 4.0 contained restrictions on immigrants but not on nonimmigrants. Travel ban 4.0 did not impact acquisition of nonimmigrant visas like F-1 student, J-1 exchange visitor, H-1B worker, etc., or admission to the U.S. in those categories.

Here is a list of the 3.0 and 4.0 bans:

Travel ban 3.0 countries

• Iran
• Libya
• North Korea
• Syria
• Venezuela
• Yemen
• Somalia

Travel ban 4.0 countries

• Kyrgyzstan
• Nigeria
