Trump Signs Order Banning Travel from 12 Countries
Transcript
00:00Tonight, Donald Trump decided to basically bring back one of the most controversial policies
00:06from his first term, from very early in his first term.
00:08Tonight, the president announced he is banning travel from 12 countries, Afghanistan, Burma,
00:14Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan
00:21and Yemen.
00:22He also partially restricted travel from seven more countries, and all of this is an echo
00:26of the travel ban he instituted in his first term, one that sparked understandable nationwide
00:32protests and a series of court challenges.
00:35This is also exactly the kind of provocative action we have come to expect from Trump when
00:41he wants to lash out and change the subject.
