US Supreme Court reinstates Donald Trump travel ban on Muslim states

The United States Supreme Court has reinstated a ban on travellers from six mostly Muslim countries, overturning lower court orders.   

The Trump administration had issued a controversial executive order in January this year, banning all immigrants and visa holders from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for 90 days.

Later, a revised order had excluded Iraq from the list.

The ban would apply to citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the case in October.
