Donald Trump Considers Issuing New Travel Ban

Donald Trump

Donald Trump is considering a new executive order to ban citizens of certain countries from travelling to the US after his initial attempt was overturned in the courts.

Mr Trump told reporters on Air Force One that a "brand new order" could be issued as early as Monday or Tuesday.

It comes after an appeals court in San Francisco upheld a court ruling to suspend his original order, reports the BBC.

It barred entry from citizens from seven mainly Muslim countries.

Mr Trump said that it would change "very little", but he did not provide details of any new ban under consideration.

"We'll win that battle," Mr Trump told reporters, adding: "The unfortunate part is it takes time. We'll win that battle. But we also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order."

An unnamed judge from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which on Thursday (February 9) upheld the stay on the original order, has called on all 25 judges of that court to vote on whether to hear the appeal again.
