Trump banned citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries (jan 26, 2017 – jan 27, 2017)

Description:

On January 27th 2017, president Donald Trump signed an executive order banning entry for 90 days by citizens from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Trump discussed how these countries are "terror-prone" countries. In 2016, these countries were also named as "countries of concern" but the executive order also makes clear those seven countries are just starting a point for a likely broader ban.
