Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was disappointed with US President Donald Trump’s revised executive order banning Sudanese citizens from travelling to the United States.
The new order comes six weeks after President Trump’s original order caused chaos at US airports before it was blocked by federal courts.
“The foreign ministry expresses its regret and disappointment over the executive order issued by the US president on March 6 that renewed the ban on immigration of citizens from six countries including Sudan to the United States for 90 days,” the ministry said in a statement.
The foreign ministry on Monday asked the US administration to reverse its decision, saying Sudanese nationals have never been involved in terrorism in America.
The new order will block citizens of Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Iran, Libya, and Yemen from obtaining visas for at least 90 days. Sudan remains in the US terror list since 1993.
