Tanzania has opened negotiations with Washington in an attempt to circumvent the latest restrictions imposed by the Donald Trump administration on citizens of African countries planning to travel to the US.

This followed the State Department’s announcement that a further 36 countries, primarily in Africa, would be added to the list of countries whose nationals are denied visas by the US.
