US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on the EU countries to ban the entry of people linked to Hezbollah, as Lithuania had done earlier. 

"Lithuania took an important step in banning Hizballah in its entirety as a terrorist organization from its territory. We urge our European partners to follow Lithuania’s example and prevent it from operating in Europe," Pompeo tweeted.

The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry has earlier said that persons linked to Hezbollah would not be able to enter the territory of the Baltic republic for 10 years.
