In February 2012, travel restrictions imposed by the United States on Robert Mugabe and his lieutenants were confirmed to be effective. Mugabe was only permitted entry to the United States because he was conducting United Nations business. The Daily News reported that if he had traveled for personal reasons, he likely would not have been allowed off the plane.
