Trump Says US Will 'Permanently Pause Migration' from 'Third World Countries' | ITV News

Nov 28, 2025 | Donald Trump has said the US will "permanently pause migration" from all "third world countries". The comments come after two National Guard troops were shot near the White House on Wednesday.

Specialist Sarah Beckstrom died from her wounds the following day, and 24-year-old Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe remains in a critical condition.

The suspect accused of the shooting has been named as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who worked with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) before the American withdrawal in 2021, who drove some 2,600 miles from the state of Washington, to launch the attack.

After the shooting, Trump said his administration would review everyone who entered from Afghanistan under former President Joe Biden - a measure his administration had been planning even before the shooting.
