Trump Bans Syrian Refugees From Entering US

America's President Donald Trump has signed an executive order banning the Refugees from Syria from entering into the US. He said the moves would protect Americans from terrorism, in a swift and stern delivery on a campaign promise.

The bans is also to affect travelers who possess passports from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan
and Yemen.

The action has prompted great anger against the US by the travelers from the region.

Iran was enraged by the decision and said it is an  "open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation" She vowed to retaliate. Iran sends the most visitors to the US it sent 35000 visitors in 2015.

The ban is said to affect green card holders but as of now it is not clear how many green card holders would be affected, but exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.

Planes going to the US are said to be dropping passengers with passports from the country.

Google has slammed the executive saying it affects 100 of its employees. Google had to recall its staff in the affected regions.
