Trump win on visa ban

-

THE US Supreme Court is letting the Trump administra­tion mostly enforce its 90-day ban on travellers from six predominan­tly Muslim countries, overturnin­g lower court orders that blocked it.

The action on Monday is a victory for President Donald Trump in the biggest legal controvers­y of his presidency.

Mr Trump said last week that the ban, which has minor category exceptions, would take effect 72 hours after being cleared by courts.

The ban would apply to citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
