The US Supreme Court today upheld Donald Trump's controversial travel ban targeting people from several Muslim-majority countries, a big win for the President, who welcomed the ruling with a "Wow!"
President Trump, reacting to the decision on Twitter, wrote: "SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS TRUMP TRAVEL BAN. Wow!"
In a statement, he described the ruling as a "tremendous victory for the American People and the Constitution. The Supreme Court has upheld the clear authority of the President to defend the national security of the United States."
Human rights organisation Amnesty International said the ban, and the anti-Muslim sentiment in which it originated, has "no place in a country that claims to value human rights."
