(Daily Telegraph) President Trump to sign executive order halting refugee flows to US later today --After his meeting with Mrs May, Mr Trump will sign an executive action temporarily halting the flow of refugees into the United Sates and stopping all entries from some majority-Muslim nations, his spokesman said. A draft of the order includes an indefinite ban on accepting Syrian refugees, and the pause in the broader refugee programme extends for 120 days. Mr Trump campaigned on a pledge to put in place "extreme vetting" procedures particularly for people coming to the US from countries with terrorism ties. According to the draft order, the president plans to suspend issuing visas for people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria or Yemen for at least 30 days. White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Trump intended to sign the order during a Friday afternoon visit to the Pentagon. He is expected to sign the order around 4.30pm local time, 9.30pm in the UK. |
