The Marshall Islands government has introduced an unconditional basic income (UBI) program, according to The Guardian. Under the program, every citizen living in the Marshall Islands will receive approximately $200 every quarter. The first payments were made at the end of November, and recipients could choose how to receive them: in cash to a bank account, by check, or cryptocurrency via a digital wallet.
“We, the government, want to make sure that no one is left behind,” Marshall Islands Finance Minister David Paul told the British newspaper.
“Quarterly payments of $200 per person, or about $800 per year, do not oblige people to quit their jobs… on the contrary, they are intended to lift spirits,” he said.
According to him, these payments should become a “social safety net” amid rising costs and an exodus of citizens.
The BDD program is funded by a trust fund created as part of an agreement with the United States, which, in particular, wants to compensate the Marshall Islands for decades of American nuclear testing. The fund’s assets amount to $1.3 billion, and the United States has pledged to contribute another $500 million by the end of 2027.
Experts cited by The Guardian call this program the first of its kind in the world.

US President Donald Trump has signed a new presidential proclamation that expands and tightens restrictions on foreign nationals entering the country, bringing the number of countries subject to full or partial bans to 39, according to the text of the document and explanations from the White House.
According to the proclamation, the previously existing restrictions on the entry of citizens of 12 “high-risk” countries remain in full force: Afghanistan, Myanmar (Burma), Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. Entry into the US for citizens of these countries in immigration and most non-immigration visa categories is suspended, except for individual exceptions and humanitarian cases provided for by law and the document.
A complete ban on entry also applies to citizens of five additional countries—Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan, and Syria—as well as to individuals traveling on travel documents issued or certified by the Palestinian Authority. The decision is justified by high visa overstays (cases of exceeding the permitted period of stay), security concerns, and the unwillingness of the authorities of these countries to accept deported citizens.
Separately, the proclamation moves Laos and Sierra Leone from partial restrictions to a de facto total ban: entry into the US for citizens of these countries under both immigrant and major non-immigrant visa categories (B-1/B-2, F, M, J) is suspended.
At the same time, the document eases restrictions for Turkmenistan: against the backdrop of “significant progress” in cooperation with Washington, restrictions on the issuance of non-immigrant visas to citizens of this country are being lifted, but the ban on immigrant entry remains in place.
In addition, partial restrictions are being introduced for 15 countries: Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. For citizens of these countries, entry into the US as immigrants and as holders of B-1/B-2, F, M, and J visas will be restricted, and the validity of other categories of visas issued by US consulates is expected to be reduced “to the extent permitted by law.” The reasons cited are high rates of visa violations, the existence of “citizenship for investment” programs without residency requirements, and problems with returning illegal migrants to their home countries.
Partial restrictions remain in place for a number of countries that already appeared in previous versions of the high-risk migration regime, in particular Burundi, Cuba, Togo, and Venezuela, according to White House documents.
The US administration emphasizes that the goal of the updated system is to “increase security and immigration control” and to encourage foreign countries to strengthen data exchange, reduce visa violations, and more actively accept deported citizens. The document provides for the possibility of revising the list of countries and the nature of restrictions based on the results of regular assessments by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security.
According to observers, the Trump administration’s next step in the field of migration may be to further tighten checks on applicants from “at-risk” countries, expanding the practice of targeted restrictions on certain visa categories (including work and student visas), and attempting to link the easing of restrictions to agreements on security and cooperation on the return of illegal migrants. At the same time, experts expect legal disputes over the new measures to intensify and be challenged in federal courts, as has been the case in previous years.
