The world this week

摘要

America's refugee policy was thrown into turmoil by Donald Trump's executive order to halt all refugee admissions for four months and ban Syrian refugees indefinitely. In addition, all citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen were stopped from entering the United States for three months. The directive, issued without any input from the federal agencies that have to implement it, caused confusion in America and abroad, trapping people at airports. An almighty constitutional battle looms.
