TIL Desk/World/Washington-President Donald Trump on Saturday signed an executive order which establishes new vetting measures to limit the flow of refugees and ‘keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States’. “I’m establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America. We don’t want them here,” Trump said after he signed the executive order in his first visit to the Pentagon, a week after he was sworn in as the President.
“We want to ensure that we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas. We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people,” Trump said. “We will never forget the lessons of 9/11, nor the heroes who lost at the Pentagon.
They were the best of us. We will honour them not only with our words, but with our actions, and that’s what we’re doing today,” said Trump flanked with the new Defence Secretary Gen James Mattis (retd.) and Vice President Mike Pence. The executive order ‘Protection of The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States’ notes that the steps taken by the US in the aftermath of 9/11 has not been able to deter terrorists from entering the country.
