Trump adds North Korea, Venezuela to travel ban

Washington

US President Donald Trump restricted or suspended travel to the US from eight countries, adding North Korea and Venezuela, while subtracting Sudan, from his earlier ban on travellers from six Muslim-majority nations.

"I must act to protect the security and interests of the United States and its people," Mr Trump wrote in Sunday's proclamation. The move came as the original order, which had been limited by court challenges, was set to expire.
