    President Donald Trump has signed another executive order limiting immigration to the US, this time temporarily banning citizens from six predominantly Muslim nations. The biggest difference between this order and the one issued in late January are that Iraq is not among the countries included in the travel ban. The order will also suspend the refugee program and lower the total number of refugees the US will accept to 50,000 per year, less than half of the 110,000 cap set by President Barack Obama's administration.
