Libya’s internationally recognized government has appealed to the US to drop or ease a travel ban imposed on its citizens by US President Donald Trump, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
“The Libyan Foreign Ministry, through its embassy in Washington, has begun to take measures to lift Libya from the list of countries and to ease the restrictions on Libyan citizens,” the ministry said in a statement.
Libya is one of six Muslim-majority countries subject to the travel ban. This week the US Supreme Court allowed the ban to take full effect while litigation over its ultimate validity continues.
The ban was also discussed at a meeting between Libyan Foreign Minister Mohammed Siyala and US Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke on Monday, the statement said.
