Donald Trump’s revised travel ban will also alter treatment of Syrian refugees, who were indefinitely banned from US shores. Photo: APUS President Donald Trump’s new travel order will drop Iraq from the list of mostly Muslim nations whose citizens will be barred from entry to the US for 90 days, according to a White House official. The order is a revision of a travel ban imposed 27 January that was blocked by federal courts. Trump has described the revised order as an urgent national security matter, but it has been repeatedly delayed without much explanation. At least one translator who worked with the US military in Iraq was detained at the border under the initial order, fueling additional criticism.
