President Trump could sign an executive order implementing the ban as soon as Wednesday, an administration official told a meeting of Jewish leaders |
By Gabby Deutch The White House is considering issuing a new executive order banning travel to the United States from certain countries, resurrecting a controversial policy from President Donald Trump's first term, according to three people who attended a Wednesday White House meeting where the plan was discussed. The planned executive order was mentioned in a meeting at the White House with Jewish leaders. The meeting, which had several dozen attendees, was organized in response to the deadly antisemitic attack in Washington last month that left two Israeli Embassy staffers dead outside the Capital Jewish Museum. The briefing took place three days after an antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colo., injured 15 people at a march to raise awareness about Israeli hostages in Gaza. |
