New Delhi, Feb 1: While facing huge global criticism for his executive order banning entry of people from seven Muslim-majority countries, US President Donald Trump today defended his move saying it’s to keep bad people out of his country.
“Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a BAN. Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!,” Trump tweeted a few minutes ago.

This past Friday, President Trump signed an executive order temporarily barring most arrivals from seven Muslim-majority countries – Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Yemen from entering the US.
However, two days later a federal court blocked the executive order.
