Felons aren’t welcome: all the countries Trump can’t visit
Travel becomes more complicated for convicted felons. This is a factor that Donald Trump will need to consider when making travel plans in the future.
Performing his diplomatic duties might be very challenging for Donald Trump if he is elected president in November. As a convicted felon there is now a very long list of countries where Trump will be banned from entry.
According to World Population Review, many countries bar convicted felons from entry. Thirty-eight nations, including the United States, ban convicted felons outright from entering their countries.
As reported by People magazine, the bans are enforced even if the convicted individual is still allowed to retain their passport. This could potentially make Donald Trump’s political life significantly more challenging if he were to return to the White House, adding a layer of uncertainty to his future.
However, it is true that in some cases, the international government may decide to make an exception for Donald Trump, particularly if he requested special permission to visit the country as the president of the United States.
Ironically, Trump himself has often called foreigners coming to the United States criminals, and now he himself will be a foreign convicted criminal hoping to enter another country.
Regardless, the list of countries that ban convicted felons from visiting is extensive, and many of these countries are either US allies or nations crucial for Trump’s foreign policy engagements. This situation could significantly impact Trump’s international relations. Click on to see all the countries Trump is banned from visiting.
Both Canada and Mexico ban convicted felons from entering the country. These countries are the United States’ closest neighbors, so it could really make life difficult for Trump.
Technically Cuba is considered part of North America, and Trump likely wouldn’t be traveling there, but even if he wanted to, he would be banned from entry.
There are four countries in South America that ban convicted felons from entry: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru.

While not technically in South America, the Dominican Republic also isn’t interested in receiving criminals and bans convicts from entering.
Donald Trump, surprisingly can visit most European countries as a convicted felon. However, there are a few countries where he is banned, including the United Kingdom and Ireland, both close US allies. In addition he won’t be able to visit Turkey or Ukraine.
When it comes to Asia, things are pretty strict, and there are very few countries that Trump could travel to. Convicted felons are banned from: Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Macao, Philippines, Singapore, Nepal, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Trump may have to cancel any plans to go on an African safari in the future. As a convicted felon he is persona non grata in Kenya, Morocco, South Africa, Tanzania, and Tunisia.
Trump’s political life, if elected, would be further complicated by the inability to make diplomatic trips to visit American allies Australia and New Zealand as both countries have bans on felons entering.
And when it comes to the Middle East Trump is banned from entering Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and I s r a e l. However, we think I s r a e l would likely make an exception for Trump, as the country’s leader has his own legal troubles, the president of I s r a e l is wanted by the ICC.
Of course, if Trump does win in November, we have a pretty good feeling one of the first things he will attempt to do is give himself a clean slate by granting his own presidential pardon. That’s too bad because it would have been fun seeing him suffer trying to enter all those countries.

The governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde, has approved a N10,000 transportation allowance as a palliative for the state workforce to cushion the effects of the increase in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, otherwise known as petrol.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Oyo State chapter, Kayode Martins, in a statement released on Monday, March 23, disclosed that the governor has granted the request of the union on the issue of transportation allowance.

“Following the intervention and formal request made by the State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) earlier this morning, the state government has approved a N10,000 transportation allowance for all workers in the state.
The newly approved allowance is set to take effect from April 2026, providing much-needed relief to workers grappling with rising transportation costs amid current economic challenges.
This development comes as a direct response to sustained advocacy by the state NLC, aimed at cushioning the impact of increased living expenses on the workforce.
Further details on implementation are expected to be communicated by the relevant government authorities in due course.”

Former Acting Accountant-General of the Federation bags 72years imprisonment for diverting N868.46 million security funds
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday, March 23, convicted and sentenced Chukwunyere Nwabuoku, former acting Accountant-General of the Federation (AGoF), to a 72-year jail term without an option of fine.
DailyTrust reports that in the judgment delivered, Justice Omotosho held that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had been able to prove the nine-count money laundering charge beyond reasonable doubt.
According to the judge, the defendant is hereby convicted as charged.
Justice Omotosho convicted Nwabuoku in all the nine counts and sentenced him to eight years imprisonment in each of the counts, making 72 years.
The judge, however, ordered that the counts shall run concurrently.
Justice Omotosho, who described Nwabuoku’s act of diverting funds meant for security and defence while he served as Director of Finance and Account in the Ministry of Defence as “appalling,” commended the EFCC for being detailed in its prosecution.
The judge observed that the evidence of the 9th prosecution witness that Nwabuoku voluntarily refunded part of the siphoned money of over N200 million during investigation was not controverted by the defence.
Nwabuoku served as the Director of Finance and Accounts in the Ministry of Defence between 2019 and 2021. He became acting Accountant General of the Federation in May 2022.
The police in Delta state have arrested eleven more suspects over the sexu@l ass@ults recorded during what was described as a “r@ping festival” in Oramudu Quarters in Ozoro last Thursday, March 19.
In a statement released on Saturday, March 21, the spokesperson of the command, SP Bright Edafe, said the CP Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT) was tasked with conducting a detailed investigation into the incident.
Edafe said operatives of CP-SAT conducted a thorough analysis of available video evidence and intelligence, leading to the arrest of eleven additional suspects identified as Samson Atukpodo, Steven ovie, Ugbevo Samson, Afoke Akporobaro, Evidence Oguname, and six others. Edafe mentioned that these latest arrests bring the total number of suspects currently in police custody in connection with the incident to fifteen (15)
“The Command reiterates that preliminary findings indicate that the unfortunate incident was perpetrated by criminal elements who exploited the situation to engage in acts of sexu@l v!olence, which are in no way representative of any legitimate cultural practice.
The Commissioner of Police, Delta State Command, CP Aina Adesola, condemns these acts in totality and reassures the public that the Command remains resolute in its determination to ensure that all those involved are identified, arrested, and prosecuted in accordance with the law. Members of the public, particularly victims and witnesses, are once again encouraged to come forward with credible information that will aid ongoing investigations. The Command assures that all information provided will be treated with strict confidentiality.”the statement in part reads
