Jen Psaki reports breaking news that Donald Trump has issued an executive order to go into effect on Monday banning travel to the U.S. from 12 countries and limiting travel from another seven. Senator Amy Klobuchar discusses the plight of refugees and the likely pushback Trump will face on this new order.

On January 31, 2020, former President Donald Trump announced travel restrictions from China to the United States in response to the emerging threat of the novel coronavirus, later known as COVID-19. The restrictions, effective from February 2, 2020, barred entry for foreign nationals who had been in China within the past 14 days, with exceptions for immediate family members of U.S. citizens and permanent residents. The decision was made to prevent the spread of the virus to the U.S., and it was met with mixed reactions, with some praising the move as a necessary precaution, while others criticized it as an overreaction and potentially discriminatory. The announcement came as the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency due to the rapid spread of the virus, which had already infected thousands and caused numerous deaths in China.
