The US government will not automatically allow green card holders who travelled to countries placed under a temporary travel ban by President Donald Trump, back into the US. Instead, those travellers will have to apply for a waiver to the executive order that instituted the ban, informed sources told CNN on Saturday. The countries targeted by US President Donald Trump's executive order include the Muslim-majority nations of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen. GREEN CARD HOLDERS TO SIGN WAIVERGreen card holders already overseas seeking to return to their homes in the US will be processed through a waiver authority that has already been established. There's been significant confusion over the precise terms of Trump's executive order since he signed it on Friday, particularly over how it pertained to visa holders who are travelling and if any different treatment was afforded to green card holders.
