Meanwhile, in the UK:

Boris Johnson says it is “divisive and wrong to stigmatise” people on the basis of nationality, amid a furore over a US clampdown on immigration.

President Donald Trump has barred entry for 90 days to refugees and nationals of seven mainly Muslim countries.

Protests have broken out at US airports and PM Theresa May has been criticised for not responding firmly enough when she was asked about it on Saturday.

No 10 has since said she does not agree with the policy.

Meanwhile, a petition to stop a state visit to the UK by President Trump later this year may be debated in Parliament, after amassing more than 300,000 signatures.

Foreign Secretary Mr Johnson became the latest politician to speak out against Mr Trump’s executive order halting the entire US refugee programme and instituting a 90-day travel ban for nationals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

He wrote on Twitter: “We will protect the rights and freedoms of UK nationals home and abroad. Divisive and wrong to stigmatise because of nationality.”
