The Trump administration is preparing to replace its controversial travel ban--which sought to bar almost all travel to the U.S. from six countries--with more targeted restrictions affecting a slightly larger number of countries, people familiar with the process said.

Rather than ban travel altogether from nations on the new list, the new order is set to create restrictions that vary by country, based on cooperation with U.S. mandates and other factors, these people said.The Department of Homeland Security originally flagged 17 nations and later recommended travel restrictions be imposed or extended on a smaller number. The specific number wasn't available, but it was about half of 17, according to one person familiar with the plan.
