Chad suspends visa for American citizens in response to Trump’s travel ban
President Mahamat Idriss Deby of Chad, on Thursday, announced the suspension of visa issuance to American citizens, following Donald Trump’s travel ban on Chad and 11 other countries.
In a Facebook post, Mr Deby said Chad’s suspension of visa issuance to American citizens comes as a reciprocation to Mr Trump’s travel ban.
“I instructed the government to act in accordance with the principles of reciprocity and suspend the issuance of visas to citizens of the United States of America,” Mr Deby said.
Referring to Qatar’s $400 million airplane gift to Mr Trump, Mr Deby said, “Chad has no planes to offer, no billions of dollars to give but Chad has his dignity and pride.”
On Wednesday, Mr Trump signed a travel ban, blocking Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from America.
