Viral Video Falsely Claims Trump Issued Travel Ban on Permanent Residents

A recent viral video circulating on social media platforms claims that former President Donald Trump has issued an executive order, effective June 25th, that would prohibit permanent residents from entering or leaving the United States. The video asserts that this alleged order impacts green card holders and legal residents, making it impossible for them to travel internationally, even for urgent family matters or significant life events. The video further states that 45 countries have been placed on a 'red list' with 'extreme entry restrictions' as a result of this supposed directive. While the video suggests this measure is intended to protect American jobs, it cites unnamed 'economists' who reportedly describe it as 'economic suicide,' leading to a loss of foreign talent in various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and academia. The video concludes by posing a question about whether the alleged policy is a matter of national security or an act that 'kills the American dream.' It is important to note that no official announcement or verified report from the White House, the U.S. government, or reputable news organizations confirms the existence of such an executive order or travel ban on permanent residents. Claims of this nature often circulate online and should be verified through official sources.
