"Trump: Entry Restrictions Possible for UK, Canada, etc. Due to Guilty Verdict Impact"

Former U.S. President Donald Trump was found guilty in a criminal case, which could potentially restrict his overseas travel, CBS reported on the 31st of last month (local time).

The jury in Trump’s criminal trial over the 'hush money' scandal delivered a verdict of guilty on all 34 charges against him at a Manhattan court in New York the previous day.

Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial, did not impose any specific travel restrictions on former President Trump. However, it is anticipated that entry to certain countries may be restricted.

Just as the United States does not allow entry to foreigners convicted of felonies, countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada?which will host the G7 summit next year?also strictly limit entry for foreigners convicted of felonies. China outright bans entry for felons.

However, CBS suggested that if former President Trump wins the U.S. presidential election this coming November and becomes president again, other world leaders might grant exceptions to these regulations. There are similar precedents. For example, former President George W. Bush, who had admitted to a DUI charge in 1976, applied for a special exemption from entry restrictions to make an official state visit to Canada while in office. However, at the time Bush committed the DUI, it was classified as a misdemeanor rather than a felony.
