WASHINGTONUS president Donald Trump will sign executive orders starting Wednesday restricting refugees, visas and immigration, making good on his signature campaign pledges, US media reported. Trump launched his presidential campaign with a promise to build a wall along America's long — and porous — southern border with Mexico, coupled with a tough immigration stance. He also called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" until authorities can better screen those who come into the country. The program allows more than 750,000 undocumented immigrants who came to the country as young children to live and work in the United States without fear of deportation. In addition to the border wall, Trump also wants to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Mexico and Canada, warning last week that he would abandon the pact unless the United States gets "a fair deal."
