citizens of 7 countries from entering the United States.
He said his policy is similar to the one Barack Obama did in 2011. Read

Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting
“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show
compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while
protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land
of the free and home of the brave.
We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses
to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he
banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries
named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously
identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be
clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.
This is not about religion – this is about terror and keeping our
country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are
majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be
issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and
implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.
I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific
humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to
protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help
all those who are suffering.”
