Trump bans entry to the USA for citizens of 12 countries.


President of the United States Donald Trump has signed an order banning citizens of 12 countries from entering the country. The reason for this decision is said to be national interests and security, reports CNN citing the portal 'Glavkom'.
Among the countries whose citizens will not be able to enter the USA are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and six other countries. Partial restrictions are also being introduced for residents of seven other countries, including Cuba and Venezuela.
This decision is a revival of the 'Muslim ban' policy that was implemented during Trump's first term.
The president signed the order following an anti-Semitic attack in Colorado. The incident in Boulder, where a man fired a homemade flamethrower at participants of an event, was the reason for the new restrictions.
The assailant Mohamed Sabri Suleiman, a citizen of Egypt, had been planning the attack for over a year, studying instructions online. During the attack, he shouted words in support of Palestine and attempted to set himself on fire but was apprehended.
As a result of the new order by President Donald Trump, citizens of 12 countries face a complete ban on entering the country, attributed to national interests and security measures. The decision has sparked outrage and criticism in various circles and associations.
