Donald Trump continues implementing his campaign promises, including those that seemed destined only for the campaign trail and not real policy ones. On Friday, he signed an executive order that bans entries to the US from 7 predominantly Muslim countries.
Hours after Trump’s signature on the bottom line, entrants from these countries were detained and sometimes turned back in US airports. These included Green Card holders as well as other people who had obtained the right to enter the country.
A court in New York temporarily halted the order and this caused confusion. The White House then explained that it doesn’t apply to Green Card holders, adding, even more, confusion. The move was globally condemned and also received criticism from his own party.
Dollar downed
When markets opened in Asia, the dollar fell. EUR/USD jumped to a high of 1.0740, maintaining the gap and holding above 1.07 as the hours passed by.
