Donald Trump has vowed to reinstate the contentious travel ban, which had targeted many primarily Muslim nations, if he wins reelection, during a recent speech at a Republican Jewish convention.
While making the pledge, he said: “We will keep radical Islamic terrorists the hell out of our country.
“You remember the travel ban? On day one I will restore our travel ban.”
Trump was among many Republicans lining up at the gathering of influential Jewish donors to pledge unflinching support for Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
Trump said at the event, which took place in Las Vegas, in Nevada, that he would “defend our friend and ally in the State of Israel like nobody has ever.”
Trump imposed sweeping restrictions on the entry of travellers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and, initially, Iraq and Sudan at the start of his presidency in 2017.
The order was instantly challenged in court as discriminatory against a religious group, but the bans, along with Trump’s hard-line anti-immigration agenda, were famous with his base.
The ban was reversed by Joe Biden reversed in his first week in office in 2021.
