Trump defends his plan to limit entry of people from several Muslim countries

US President Donald Trump defended his plan to limit the entry of people from several Muslim countries. However, Mr. Trump was non-committal on whether nations like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia will be on the list of the proposed visa ban.<br/><br/>According to a draft executive order published in US media, refugees from war-torn Syria will be indefinitely banned and the broader US refugee admissions programme will be suspended for 120 days. All visa applications from countries deemed a terrorist threat – Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen – will be halted for 30 days.<br/><br/>
