Controversial Trump travel ban expires tomorrow─── 11:23 Sat, 23 Sep 2017
Washington - US President Donald Trump's contentious travel ban expires tomorrow with little clarity over whether America's door will reopen for travellers from six majority-Muslim countries.
Based on the policy, US embassies or representatives in Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen should resume granting visas to their nationals planning to visit the United States for work, study, pleasure or to emigrate.
AFP reports, however, that some think the Trump administration, determined to stick to his election promise to block Muslims from the country, will extend the 90-day ban at least until the Supreme Court can rule on it next month.
The ban - which initially included Iraq and was accompanied by a 120-day block on all refugees - sparked a political uproar when Trump first announced it on January 27, a week after becoming president.
