US: Trump imposes revised, narrower travel ban starting March 16
US president Donald Trump has issued a revised, narrower travel ban than his previous executive order that was blocked by US federal courts, this time temporarily excluding citizens without already-issued visas from 6 countries from entering the US for 90 days starting March 16. Iraq has been dropped from the list of countries included in the ban, which now includes Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The ban will not take effect until March 16. Legal permanent residents, or “green card” holders, from the 6 countries will not be included in the ban. Travellers holding already-issued valid visas will also not be included. The previous executive order, issued Jan. 27, went into immediate effect, was a surprise to airlines and led to dozens of travellers—including green card holders—being detained at US airports. <br/>
