US President Donald Trump hails the Supreme Court ruling which partially reinstates the travel ban targeting citizens from six mainly Muslim countries as a victory for national security.
“Today’s unanimous Supreme Court decision is a clear victory for our national security,” Trump says in a White House statement.
“It allows the travel suspension for the six terror-prone countries and the refugee suspension to become largely effective. As president, I cannot allow people into our country who want to do us harm.”
Earlier, the nation’s highest court ruled it would let a limited version of Trump’s ban on travel from six mostly Muslim countries take effect. The ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen can be enforced as long if those visitors lack a “credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.”
The justices will hear full arguments in the October.
