Trump Immigration Executive Order Not Travel Ban, But Temporary Pause for Review
ABU DHABI (Sputnik) – US President Donald Trump’s order on immigration is the country’s sovereign right and is not aimed at representatives of any religion, UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan said Wednesday.

"Without doubt, countries have the sovereign right to make decisions to ensure their sovereignty. The US president used this sovereign rugt. There are attempts to claim that this decision is aimed against a religion, but it is not aimed against a specific religion, this is a temporary decision, it is important to take these points of view into account," Nahyan said.

On Friday, Trump signed an executive order to block refugees from coming to the United States for 120 days; indefinitely suspend the entry of Syrian refugees; and restrict immigration from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Trump said the measure would keep terrorists out of the United States.
