In a meeting with bipartisan congressional leaders in the Oval Office on January 23, 2017, President Donald Trump defended his controversial executive order that temporarily banned travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries, asserting it was necessary for national security and not a Muslim ban as critics claimed. Trump emphasized the need for "extreme vetting" to prevent potential terrorists from entering the U.S., and he expressed frustration over what he perceived as inadequate vetting processes under the previous administration. The meeting, intended to discuss a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, saw tensions rise as Democratic leaders, including Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Nancy Pelosi, challenged Trump's travel ban, with Schumer calling it "un-American" and Pelosi describing it as "hasty and ill-informed." Trump maintained that the ban was vital for the country's safety and suggested that the courts would ultimately uphold his executive order.
