Donald Trump is planning to force all foreign tourists to provide five years of social media history before arriving in the US for the World Cup.

Back in June, Trump announced that he would introduce "common sense restrictions" on travel to the United States that would, in his words, "protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors".

This led to travel bans being placed on citizens form 19 countries, including Haiti and Iran, who have both qualified for the 2026 World Cup.

Travel to the World Cup could yet become difficult for citizens from other countries too, with a report from The Daily Mail claiming that Trump is pushing for new legislation that would force foreign tourists to hand over the past five years of their social media history in order to enter the US.

If Trump is successful, then social media data would be required for anyone entering the country, including those from countries on the visa waiver program, such as the United Kingdom and Germany.

The report comes after the State Department ordered all tourists to make their social media profiles public ahead of travelling to the US.

Also in June, a Norwegian tourist claimed that he was denied entry into the US after immigration agents found a criticised a viral meme of Vice President JD Vance on his phone.

However, officials from US Homeland Security claimed that this was not the case and that he was instead turned away for admitting drug use.

Two months later, the Trump Administration told immigration services to begin searching the social media accounts of potential visa and green card applicants for 'anti-Americanism'.

It has not been revealed what exactly is deemed to be anti-Americanism.
