Former President Donald Trump promised before a convention of Jewish members of his Republican Party to reinstate a controversial travel ban on citizens of some majority Muslim countries to the United States if he is re-elected. "We will keep radical Islamic terrorists out of our country," Trump said before the annual summit of the Republican Jewish Coalition held last Saturday night in the city of Las Vegas. "Remember the travel ban? On day one I will restore our travel ban," said Trump, who is aiming to return to the White House in next year's election. Regarding the previously imposed measure At the beginning of his presidency in 2017, he restricted the entry of travelers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and, initially, Iraq and Sudan, all largely Islamic countries. The order was quickly challenged in court for being discriminatory against a religious group, but the bans, along with Trump's hardline anti-immigration agenda, were popular among the president's supporters. President Joe Biden, of the Democratic Party, repealed that measure as soon as he began his term in 2021. Trump was one of several Republican hopefuls who pledged unwavering support for Israel in its confrontation with the Palestinian Hamas movement. "The United States is totally with Israel," said Trump, who was the most applauded presidential candidate at the annual meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), the AFP news agency reported.
