ITV News’ Global Security Editor, Rohit Kachroo, explains what the travel ban, which comes into effect on 9 June, means for the rest of the world.
Donald Trump has announced a travel ban on 12 countries from entering the United States on Wednesday, a key policy resurrected from his first term as president.
Taking effect just after midnight on Monday, the ban will see citizens from 12 countries including Afghanistan, Iran, Libya and Haiti banned from entering the US, with tightened restrictions on seven more countries.
