Washington DC (USA): An unfazed US President Donald Trump has vowed to issue a new executive order on immigration next week. 

Trump says it would be “tailored” to the court’s ruling that stalled his controversial travel ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries into the US. “The new order is going to be very much tailored to what I consider to be a very bad decision,” said Trump, during a hurriedly convened news conference, referring to a decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that blocked his travel ban earlier this month.

The court had refused to lift a federal judge’s temporary restraining order on Trump’s executive order barring foreign nationals from Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Iraq and Yemen from entering the country for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and all refugees from Syria indefinitely.
