Syrian dictator Assad says he SUPPORTS Trump’s travel ban on his citizens because it will stop ‘terrorists’ infiltrating the US (Source dailymail.co.uk)

Syria’s president Bashar al-Assad said Donald Trump‘s ban on Syrians entering the United States targeted terrorists, not his country’s people. Trump last month issued an executive order, since suspended by a judge, that temporarily barred travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries including Syria. Assad made the claims during an interview which is due to be broadcast on Thursday. In an interview broadcast with Europe 1 radio and TF1 television, the dictator said: ‘It’s against the terrorists that would infiltrate some of the immigrants to the West. And that happened. It happened in Europe, mainly in Germany. ‘I think the aim of Trump is to prevent those people from coming… not against the Syrian people.’ Trump said his order, which triggered protests at home and abroad and confusion at US and international airports, was intended to prevent militants from entering the United States. His administration is challenging the suspension ruling, which was upheld last week by appeal court judges.
