In 2017, Trump passed a ban on people entering the U.S. from North Korea, government officials from Venezuela, and nationals from several Muslim countries. Lalami calls this a “deceitful move, because the government of North Korea already prevents its people from leaving their homeland and only about forty Venezuelan officials visit the United States per year” (21).
