Author Topic: Countries where Trump does business are not hit by new travel restrictions (Read 634 times)

The seven nations targeted for new visitation restrictions by President Trump on Friday all have something in common: They are places he does not appear to have any business interests.

The executive order he signed Friday bars all entry for the next 90 days by travelers from Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya. Excluded from the lists are several majority-Muslim nations where the Trump Organization is active and which in some cases have also faced troublesome issues with terrorism.

According to the text of the order, the restriction applies to countries that have already been excluded from programs allowing people to travel to the United States without a visa because of concerns over terrorism. Hewing closely to nations already named as terrorism concerns elsewhere in law might have allowed the White House to avoid angering some more powerful and wealthy majority Muslim allies, such as Egypt.

Something to feel better about.

This list of countries included in the ban was created by the Obama administration, not by Trump.

So? Are you now approving of Obamas actions? Or is it simply acceptable now that Trumpy approves of Obamas actions?

Some of those countries are retaliating with bans of their own on Americans traveling to those countries. This really could get out of hand.

It's a surprise that there is no Trump hotel in Somalia? No Trump golf course in Yemen? The premise of this article is silly.

If the Bamster had actually used the list I would have more than approved of his actions.

Why would Trump do business in countries that support terrorism?

This is exactly what I thought. Trump has no business dealings in the garbage heaps of the world?

Shocking!
