The Trump administration has outlined a new plan to force tourists from dozens of countries to submit five years of social media history to be granted access to the US.

Foreign tourists will be forced to hand over five years of social media history to be granted entry into the US in what marks the latest move in Donald Trump's border crackdown.

The new "mandatory" requirement was detailed in a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document on Tuesday outlining how the administration will comply with the president's demand for foreign visitors to be “vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible”. The new rule is set to affect visitors from dozens of countries, including the UK, France and Germany, as it will apply to those who benefit from the visa waiver programme.
