Trump adds Chad and North Korea to travel ban list

DONALD TRUMP issued a new travel ban yesterday, imposing an indefinite ban on almost all travel to the United States from seven countries.

It follows the US president’s March executive order, which expired on Sunday, which itself followed a January ban which was largely blocked by the courts.

It covers mostly the same, majority Muslim, countries but Venezuela, North Korea and Chad are new to the list. Sudan has been dropped.
