TRUMP REVIVES 2017 POLICY WITH REFINEMENTS TO PRE-EMPT BACKLASH
President Donald Trump has revived a signature policy from his first term, announcing a sweeping travel ban that blocks citizens from 12 countries from entering the United States and imposes restrictions on travellers from seven others.
Set to take effect at 12:01am on Monday, the ban includes a short lead time likely an attempt to avoid the airport chaos and legal confusion that erupted when a similar order was abruptly implemented in 2017.
Trump has reimposed a travel ban targeting nationals from 19 countries. The policy officially titled a “Presidential Proclamation on Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry” will take effect on June 9 at 12:01am, leaving a short window for government agencies, airlines and travellers to adjust.
