Trump's travel ban on 12 countries with 'hostile attitudes' to the US | LBC

Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing a travel ban on citizens from 12 countries, and partially restricted travellers from seven other nations. The order, effective on Monday, restricts entry from Afghanistan, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, and Haiti. Additionally, partial restrictions will apply to visitors from Cuba, Venezuela, Laos, Sierra Leone, Turkmenistan, and Togo. The US president justified the move by referencing to the recent terror attack on a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, which was allegedly carried out by an Egyptian national who overstayed his visa. Nick Ferrari was joined by Dr Donna Jackson of the University of Chester to discuss.
