Former President Donald Trump, whose administration imposed multiple versions of a travel ban against people from Muslim-majority countries, may now face restrictions on his own international travel following his felony conviction in New York on Thursday.
At this point, Trump faces no specific travel restrictions from Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the “hush money” criminal trial in New York in which the former president was found guilty of 34 criminal charges. His sentencing is scheduled for July 11, four days before the Republican National Convention, which will formalize his nomination for president. Trump, who is in the middle of a presidential campaign and has three other criminal trials pending, has not announced international travel plans.
The US does not allow foreigners with criminal convictions into the country, nor do several other countries. Allies including the United Kingdom and Australia have strict restrictions on traveling there as convicted criminals, according to the European Travel Information and Authorization System. Canada, which will host the G7 world leaders’ summit in 2025, also imposes strict requirements for visitors with criminal records. And criminals are banned from entering China.
But it is possible that international leaders will make exceptions for Trump if he wins the presidency again. Former President George W. Bush had to request a special exemption to enter Canada on an official state visit because he had pleaded guilty decades earlier to a drunken driving charge in 1976. And that was a misdemeanor, not a crime.
Trump has plans to renew and renew travel restrictions for the US if he is president again. Last year, he said he would bring back an “even bigger than before” travel ban, alluding to his government’s decision to restrictions in travelers from several countries that have predominantly Muslim populations.
The Supreme Court eventually confirmed a version of his 5-4 travel ban in 2018. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion that presidents have substantial power to regulate immigration. “The only prerequisite,” Roberts wrote, is “that the entry of the covered aliens ‘would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.’ The president has undoubtedly met that requirement here.” He also noted that Trump ordered an assessment of each country’s compliance with the risk assessment baseline and then released the findings.
When he talks about the increase in the number of undocumented migrants crossing the US-Mexico border, the former president also regularly paints them as “criminals”.
“So we are taking criminals out of our country, and we are taking them out in record numbers, and these are the people we are looking for,” he said. the former president said early in his term during a 2017 interview with the Associated Press.
While awaiting sentencing in the “hush money” case, Trump maintains he did nothing wrong.
“I’m willing to do whatever it takes to save our country and our Constitution. I don’t care,” he said. he said in remarks at Trump Tower on Friday.
