STORYLINE:
The Trump administration’s decision to impose a travel ban on Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, has upset the Burmese community in the US.
Van Uk, who has lived in the U.S. for 25 years and whose father and sisters still live in Myanmar, said the ban is especially unfortunate for students who won’t be able to come to study in the U.S. “It’s kind of shut down the window. There is no kind of hope for them,” he said.
The travel ban, which takes effect Monday at 12:01 a.m. includes Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
