The White House said that “the restrictions of common sense” will protect the Americans from the dangerous foreign actors. “

In a video clip posted on his social website, Trump said The last alleged terrorist attack in Bulder, Colorado “Emphasized the severe risks” offered by foreign citizens who have not been properly examined. “

Twelve people were injured in Colorado on Sunday when a man attacked a group of an Israeli hostage, threw two burning devices and used temporary flame bombs.

The man accused of carrying out the attack was identified as an Egyptian citizen, but Egypt is not included in the list of banned countries.

Trump has close relations with Egyptian President Abdel Fahia Al -Sisi, who was described by the American president in the past as “his favorite dictator.”

There are a number of people from affected countries who may still be able to enter the United States due to the following exemptions:

• Athletes travel on major sporting events, such as the 2026 World Cup or 2028 Olympics

Another Democrat, a member of Congress, Don Bayer, says Trump “Khan” is like the founders of the United States.

Human rights groups also criticized the ban.

Amnesty International described it in the United States of America as “discriminatory, racist and harsh” explicit “, while describing it as the United States -based human rights,” another anti -immigrant and punishment “action by the president.

Trump ordered his original travel ban during his first term at the White House in 2017.

It was distinguished by some of the same countries, such as his last thing, including Iran, Libya and Somalia.

Critics described it as an “Islamic ban” because the seven countries listed at the beginning was the Islamic majority, and they were immediately challenged in the courts throughout the United States.
