Chad's President Mahamat Idriss Deby has announced that his country is suspending the issuance of visa to U.S. citizens in response to the Trump administration’s decision to ban Chadians from visiting the U.

Chad suspended visa issuance to U.S. citizens on Thursday after its nationals were included in a U.S. travel ban targeting 12 countries, President Idriss Deby said in a Facebook post.

The government of Chad has announced the suspension of all visa issuance to American citizens, in a retaliatory move against the United States’ decision to bar Chadian nationals from entering the country.
