It comes after the Republican pledged during his election campaign to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the nation. He later said migrants from certain countries that pose a threat would have to undergo “extreme vetting”. The order to temporarily suspend visas for citizens from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan is expected to be signed at some point this week, according to aides who have been briefed.
