Paul Ryan says Muslim ban not in nation’s interest

House Speaker Paul Ryan says a ban on Muslims entering the United States — as presidential nominee Donald Trump proposes — is not in the nation’s interest.

Ryan tells reporters in Washington, DC, that there should be a security test, not a religious test. He says the issue is “radical Islam,” not the Islamic faith.

Ryan has previously rejected Trump’s call for a ban on Muslims.
