US President Donald Trump says he is considering a new executive order to ban citizens of seven mainly Muslim nations from travelling to the US after his initial attempt was overturned in the courts. Talking to reporters travelling with him on Air Force One from Andrews Air Force Base to Florida, Trump said the Administration have a lot of other options, including just issuing a brand new order.
He said, the new executive order on immigration would include security measures and could be issued as early as Monday or Tuesday. Noting that it is important to move quickly for the sake of national security, President said it will have an extreme vetting and going very strong on security.
The President’s remarks came after a three-judge bench of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco refused to reinstate his controversial travel ban on Thursday. Trump signed the executive order last month suspending the arrival of all refugees for at least 120 days, Syrian refugees indefinitely, and barring citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days, fulfilling one of his central campaign promises.
