President Trumps most recent executive order effectively bans citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. for at least 90 days but some Muslim countries were spared from the order's blacklist, even though they have deep-seated ties to terrorism.

Fridays executive order, signed at the Pentagon, suspends the issuing of U.S. visas or travel permits to people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
