USA ISSUES TRAVEL BAN ON CERTAIN NATIONALITIES
An executive order by President Donald Trump has provoked waves of protest at US airports, where those travelling from seven majority Muslim countries have been detained or turned back.
Signed on Friday, the order has halted the US refugee programme and banned anyone from the countries – Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, Syria and Libya – from travelling to the country, even if they have already been approved for a visa, have an existing visa or a green card.
But it also applies to dual citizens holding a passport for one of the seven and another country, such as Britain.
