President Donald Trump says his
administration will be rolling out a
new set of immigration order on
travels and refugees next week to
replace the controversial one blocked
by the courts.
Trump, who made the announcement
during a televised press conference
on Thursday, pledged to keep
Americans safe in line with his
campaign promise.
“Our administration is working day
and night to keep Americans safe
including you reporters,” he said.
“A new set of executive actions next
week will comprehensively protect
our country. We’re going to put in
place a new set of travel ban.
“The (blocked) roll out was perfect
because if we had announced that
(ban), a lot of bad people would not
have come into our country.
“The new executive order will be
based on the decision of the courts.
“But now there is serious vetting,” he
said, adding that he was willing to
deal with dreamers” who were
brought into the US illegally as
children, “with heart” as a father who
has kids and grand children.
Trump said he had ordered a
crackdown on sanctuary cities that
violated the federal laws by
providing safe haven for illegal
immigrants.
“I’m following through on what I
pledged,” he said, pointing out that
the travel ban was only holding true
to his campaign promises rather than
deceive his supporters by reneging.
Trump also claimed that his
administration inherited a mess in the
US and overseas when he took over.
“I inherited a mess in United States
and overseas,” Trump said.
“This administration is running like a
fine-tune machine in spite that I can’t
get my cabinet approved. Our cabinet
will be one of the greatest in
American history.
“We will renegotiate fair trade deal,
we’ve been treated unfairly. Other
countries have been taking
advantage of us for decades. We
cannot continue to let that happen.
“There has never been a presidency
that has done so much in a very short
period of time.”
The president emphasised that he
would “repeal and replace
Obamacare by March”, insisting that
the healthcare plan was a disaster.
He maintained that the Russia
scandal was a ruse that was meant to
cover up for the loss of Democrats
and Hillary Clinton, but emphasised
that it was better for the US to get
along well with Russia.
Trump, however, described the leak
as illegal, and vowed that the leakers
of classified information, whom he
claimed to be the Obama’s
hangovers, would be caught and
made to face the law.
“It will be great to get along with
Russia. I want to do the right thing for
the American people and for the
world,” he said.
“We are a very powerful country and
so they (Russia) are. They are
nuclear powerful but it will be in our
country’s interest.
“I don’t think Putin is testing me. But
whether we are going to get along, I
don’t know because I’m not going to
tell you. I don’t have to tell you what
my response to Russia is.
“Russia is a ruse. I’ve never done
anything for Russia. I don’t have any
connection with Russia.
“Putin called me on the election
victory and also on the inauguration
and it was a fantastic conversation,
especially the second one just like
almost all leaders all over the world
called me.’’
Trump assured Americans that
Melania, his wife “is going to be a
fantastic First Lady; she’s going to be
a fabulous representative of the
women’’.
