  5. Trump stands firm over banpublished at 17:28 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2017

    After a day of protests and condemnation from several world leaders, President Trump defended the measures on Sunday morning.

    He said on Twitter that the US needed strong borders and what he called the extreme vetting of new arrivals. 

    He also drew attention to Europe's immigration situation, which he described as a horrible mess. 

    Shortly afterwards, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the executive order was not intended to send a message that Muslims weren't welcome in the United States. And he defended the way it had been implemented.
