Sky News US analyst Michael Ware discusses a proclamation signed by US President Donald Trump restricting the access of citizens from 12 countries into the United States.

Here is a closer look at why the administration says it is instituting full bans on foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. from 12 nations.

As we have reported, Egypt is not on the list of banned countries - despite Trump citing the recent attack in Colorado by an Egyptian national when announcing the travel ban. Human rights groups have criticsed the ban, with Amnesty International USA describing it as "discriminatory, racist, and downright cruel".
