Submit a report to the President with recommendations on whether suspensions and limitations should be continued, terminated, modified, or supplemented.

Source summary
President Trump issued a proclamation continuing, expanding, and modifying travel restrictions on nationals from many countries that the administration determined have deficient identity-management, vetting, or information-sharing practices. The proclamation continues full suspensions for a set of countries, adds several countries to the full-suspension list (including Burkina Faso, Laos, Mali, Niger, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Syria), and imposes partial suspensions on multiple others effective January 1, 2026. It narrows categorical exceptions, allows case-by-case national-interest waivers, ties reviews to 180-day reports from the Secretary of State, and cites DHS overstay data and concerns about Citizenship by Investment programs as part of the rationale.

    The claim concerns a requirement in President Trump’s Proclamation 10998 of December 16, 2025, titled “Restricting and Limiting the Entry of Foreign Nationals to Protect the Security of the United States.” The relevant clause is Section 7(a), which sets a deadline for the Secretary of State to provide a report to the President evaluating the entry suspensions and limitations. Section 7(a) of the proclamation explicitly states that, within 180 days of the date of the proclamation and every 180 days thereafter, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, must submit a report to the President (through the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security). That report is to recommend whether the suspensions and limitations imposed by sections 2–5 “should be continued, terminated, modified, or supplemented.” Because the proclamation is dated December 16, 2025, the first 180‑day deadline falls around mid‑June 2026. The user’s follow‑up date of January 15, 2026 is roughly one month after issuance, well before the 180‑day deadline specified in Section 7(a). Available public sources (including the White House proclamation text, the Federal Register publication, and analyses by professional organizations) confirm that this reporting requirement exists, but do not indicate that any such report has already been submitted as of mid‑January 2026. This is consistent with the fact that the legal deadline has not yet arrived. Given that the obligation is prospective and the deadline is still in the future relative to the follow‑up date, the appropriate assessment is that the requirement is in force but not yet due. Accordingly, the status of this claim is best classified as “in_progress,” with no current evidence of either fulfillment or noncompliance.
