The current US President Donald Trump on Wednesday extended indefinitely the memorandum prescribing the introduction of visa sanctions against countries that refuse to return their citizens from the United States or delay this process amid a pandemic.
The text of the document was distributed by the press service of the White House.
"This memorandum will continue to operate until the president terminates it," the document says.
The memorandum signed on April 10 was originally supposed to remain in force only until December 31, 2020. At the same time, the possibility of its extension was envisaged.
The decree stipulates that the US Secretary of Homeland Security must provide lists of countries "that do not accept or unreasonably delay the reception of their citizens, nationals or residents from the United States during the ongoing pandemic," the Secretary of State, after which he must "begin the implementation of the plan to impose visa sanctions ". The sanctions will end if the Secretary of Homeland Security notifies the Secretary of State that a foreign country has resumed receiving its citizens without creating "unjustified delays."
