Trump explains excluding Egypt from travel ban despite terror link

President Donald Trump said Egypt was excluded from his expanded U.S. travel ban—tied to a Colorado attack by an Egyptian national—due to close bilateral ties. "Egypt has things under control," Trump said June 5. The June 4 ban targets 19 nations, citing security risks. The Boulder attack suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, entered on a tourist visa before overstaying and seeking asylum, officials said.
