Trump signed the executive action at the Pentagon, where he met with the joint chiefs of staff and participated in the swearing-in ceremony for Defense Secretary James Mattis. Trump said the new measure was intended “to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America.”“We don’t want them here,” Trump said. The executive order also suspends visa entry into the U.S. from seven countries that have predominately Muslim populations. They include: Syria, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Sudan and Yemen. The order also creates an “extreme vetting” process for any and all immigrants and visitors to the U.S.
