Donald Trump is to sign a new executive order on immigration later on Monday, his aide Kellyanne Conway has said.<\/p>\n
A revised order has been expected from the White House since the earlier ban was blocked by a federal court.<\/p>\n
The previous order suspended the entire US refugee resettlement programme and blocked citizens of seven Muslim-majority nations from entering the US.<\/p>\n
It sparked confusion at airports, as people with valid visas were turned away, and mass protests.<\/p>\n
President Trump’s administration argued that the ban was necessary to keep the US safe from terrorism.<\/p>\n
What is different about the new order?<\/strong><\/p>\n While the text of the new executive order has not yet been published, Ms Conway, a senior aide to Mr Trump, told Fox News that Iraq would be left off the list of countries whose citizens will banned from the US.<\/p>\n Citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, the other six countries on the original list, would once more be subject to a 90-day travel ban.<\/p>\n
