The Libyan House of Representatives welcomed U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to lift the travel ban on Libyan citizens and allowing them to enter the United States, a Libyan parliament member said Friday. The travel ban was imposed by former U.S President Donald Trump at the beginning of his administration in 2016 and banned citizens from several Muslim countries, including Libya, from entering the American soil. Al-Zgad said the travel ban had nothing to do with the U.S. - Arab relation, which has always been ''excellent.'' Lifting the travel ban was one of the first 15 decrees signed by Biden on his first day at the White House. Commenting on the new U.S president, Al-Zgad said Libya has little hope in Joe Biden, because he is from the Democratic Party.
