Passengers travelling to the USA are being prevented from entering the country just hours after President Trump introduced a ban on Muslims. Seven people, six Iraqis and a Yemeni, were stopped from boarding a flight from Cairo, Egypt, to New York today despite having valid visas to travel to America. Dutch airline KLM also revealed it has had to turn away seven would-be passengers because they would no longer have been accepted into the US.
KLM spokesperson Manel Vrijenhoek said: “We would love to bring them there. That’s not the problem. “It’s just that this is what the US sprang on the rest of the world that these people are no longer welcome.” She revealed the seven were due to fly with KLM from different airports around the world.
