According to the US president, the president has imposed a new blanket travel ban on 12 nations because he claims it is for national security.
Twelve countries are subject to a travel ban, with seven others imposed by US President Donald Trump.
And it’s not the first of its kind; Trump also issued a similar order in 2017 that targeted nations with a Muslim majority.
He claims that the most recent initiative is intended to safeguard national security, but its opponents claim that it is racist and unrelated to safety.
What is the real issue with the ban, and what might Trump gain from it?
