Donald Trump: The troubles of the newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump are showing no signs of abating. Recently, Trump has been found guilty by a court in a case involving fraud in business records. This decision could raise questions about his future international travels, especially to countries with strict entry rules for individuals with criminal records.
What was the Case
Before the 2016 elections, Trump, through his lawyer ‘ Michael Cohen’ , paid adult film star Stormy Daniels a “hush money.” Trump defended this payment as a legal service, but the court dismissed this claim and declared it a serious offense.

In this case, In May 2024, 34 cases of tampering with business records were filed against Trump, and the verdict for these was delivered on January 10, 2025, finding him gravely guilty. This decision will not only tarnish his image but also pose significant challenges for his foreign travels.
Countries like India, China, Canada, and the UK are known for taking a stringent stance on allowing entry to foreign nationals with criminal records. This has raised a cloud of uncertainty over Donald Trump’s international visits.
Judge’s Verdict on January 10
On January 10, Judge ‘Juan Merchan ‘ released Trump from the case, sparing him from imprisonment. However, his criminal record may still prevent him from escaping international travel restrictions. Several countries around the world have stringent entry rules for individuals convicted of serious crimes.
Countries like India, Japan, China, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Israel, South Africa, Kenya, Argentina, New Zealand, Macau, and Cuba are known for prohibiting entry to such individuals.

Have Other Faced such Restrictions
Before Donald Trump, another president had to deal with similar challenges due to their criminal record. In 1976, George W. Bush was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. As a result, he faced issues during his visit to Canada and had to seek special permission to enter the country.
