U.S. President Donald Trump has said his travel restrictions on people from seven Muslim-majority countries was aimed at preventing a “horrible mess” like “what is happening all over Europe”.
Controversial Trump signed the executive order for the “extreme vetting” of immigrants on Friday.
The order means no visas are being issued to migrants or visitors from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days.
His action has been greeted with worldwide criticism and protest as many migrant were stranded at U.S. airports.
Defending his executive order via Twittter, Trump said; “Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world – a horrible mess!
“Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!”, Trump added.
An American Judge has place temporary suspension on the travel restriction.
