Trump Signs Order Barring Syrian Refugees From US

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that restricts any Syrian refugees from entering the United States for an indefinite period of time. The action brought a strong reaction from the United Nations.


The executive order titled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States,” calls for suspension of visas and other immigration benefits to citizens of “countries of particular concern.”

Two United Nations agencies issued a joint statement Saturday just hours after Trump's order, saying “The needs of refugees and migrants worldwide have never been greater, and the U.S. resettlement program is one of the most important in the world.”
