And we feel very confident that we will prevail in this matter," White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters travelling with the President aboard Air Force One from Tampa, Florida to Andrews Air Force base. The US government defended the ban as a "lawful exercise" of the President's authority. "No, no, no," he said, when asked if the White House is considering withdrawing it. Spicer said Trump's number-one priority is to do what he can to keep the American people safe. Trump, who paid a visit to US Central Command in Tampa, condemned the media for downplaying the terror threat his administration has cited to justify the travel ban.
