The executive order also suspends visa entry into the U.S. from seven countries that have predominately Muslim populations. “‘Extreme vetting’ is just a euphemism for discriminating against Muslims," Romero said in a statement issued moments after the signing. Trump defended the executive order during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “This is the Muslim ban that was promised by him on the campaign trail.”As president, Trump has the authority to set how many refugees are allowed in annually. Sources close to Trump tell Fox News he has plans to cut that by more than half to 50,000.
