On April 21, local time, US President Trump said at the White House epidemic briefing that his upcoming executive order banning new immigrants will last at least 60 days, and will be re-evaluated after the expiration and may be extended.
Trump said on Twitter on the evening of the 20th that he would “suspend immigrants from entering the United States”. He detailed the details of this measure for the first time on the 21st.
However, Trump announced that he did not completely stop immigration to the United States in the context of the new coronavirus pandemic. He said that this provision would only suspend most people applying for permanent resident status in the United States for 60 days, and would not apply to temporary workers. Trump said he is likely to sign the executive order on the 22nd.
He also said that the ban is to protect American employment, and this policy will ensure that unemployed Americans have more employment opportunities.
