U.S. Department of State

STANDING ASSESSMENT

U.S. Department of State, issues travel advisories, embassy orders and terrorism designations

The U.S. Department of State issues travel warnings, security guidance, embassy operational directives and terrorism designations, as reflected in the reporting. It tells U.S. citizens not to travel to Yemen, warns dual U.S.-Yemeni nationals face elevated kidnapping and detention risk, and has re-designated Ansarallah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

The reporting records embassy actions and regional advisories: suspension of U.S. Embassy operations in Minsk and staff departures in February 2022, and orders on 2 March 2026 for non-emergency staff and families to leave Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. The Department warns of armed conflict, crime, kidnapping and limited health care across parts of Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria and Lesotho, and recommends enrolling in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program and basic safety measures such as not resisting robberies.
