President Donald Trump has signed a new immigration order reducing the number of countries from seven predominantly muslim countries to six while Iraq has been removed from the list.


The order still places a 90 day ban on the six muslim countries initially stated in the first order.
 Iraq however was removed from the new list because it agreed on an additional visa vetting measures with the US.

The directive imposes a 120 day ban on all refugees and will commence 16, March.

The initial order which was blocked by a Federal High court, was condemned in the United State and outside the country, it also resulted in protests in US airports.
Moreso, Green card holders from the six named countries will not be affected by the new order.
