Trump's Immigration Ban: Fuel For Terrorist Movements?

US President Donald Trump issued a controversial order in January restricting entry of people from seven Muslim-majority countries to the United States. While it has been suspended by the US court earlier this month, Trump’s administration has vowed to implement it. But the rhetoric has many worried that it will further embolden terrorists.

Today on Current Affairs, we explore how the immigration ban will affect terrorist movements and Muslim-majority countries.

This is Part II of a series exploring the impact of a Trump immigration ban. You can listen to part I here.
