NICHOLAS KAMM—AFP/Getty Images  by [Julia Zorthian](https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/)  ## Julia Zorthian Mar 6, 2017 4:07 PM UTC Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Attorney General Jeff Sessions will discuss travel restrictions to the U.S. as President Donald Trump enacts a new travel ban Monday. Watch the remarks above, scheduled to begin at 11:30 EST. [The new ban](http://time.com/4691581/donald-trump-travel-ban-new/) will prevent people from six Muslim-majority countries—Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen—from entering the U.S. for 90 days if they do not have visas that are currently valid, the [_Associated Press_ reported](http://time.com/4691806/president-trump-new-travel-ban/?xid=homepage). Iraq [had originally been included](http://time.com/4686818/trump-iraq-travel-ban-list-immigration/) in the list of countries. The White House removed it when Iraq agreed to work more closely with the U.S. to vet Iraqi citizens applying for a travel visa, according to the AP. The White House is announcing the new order after federal courts stymied the rollout of Trump’s [first travel ban](http://time.com/4660929/trump-immigration-order-ban-court/), which applied more broadly to seven Muslim-majority countries. \[[_AP_](http://time.com/4691806/president-trump-new-travel-ban/?xid=homepage)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4691802/new-travel-ban-watch-live/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4691802/new-travel-ban-watch-live/"},"headline":"Watch Live: Trump Administration Unveils New Travel Ban","datePublished":"2017-03-06T16:07:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T03:40:46.811Z","description":"President Donald Trump's new travel ban stops entries to the U.S. from 6 countries","url":"https://time.com/4691802/new-travel-ban-watch-live/","keywords":["politics","Syria","Travel","Donald Trump","livestream","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8b58d277a4abe317/6988bd17e20a87bb0da945a2/donald-trump-travel-ban-announcement-livestream.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Julia Zorthian","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8b58d277a4abe317/6988bd17e20a87bb0da945a2/donald-trump-travel-ban-announcement-livestream.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"donald trump travel ban announcement livestream","caption":"US-POLITICS-TRUMP-EDUCATION","creditText":"NICHOLAS KAMM—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4691802/new-travel-ban-watch-live/","name":"Watch Live: Trump Administration Unveils New Travel Ban"}}]}] ```
