WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Friday referred Reuters to the 19 countries listed in a travel ban when asked about the "Third World" countries.

Trump late on Thursday announced that his administration would "permanently pause" migration from all "Third World Countries", after an Afghan man shot and killed a National Guard member and wounded another near the White House.
