Donald Trump : I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States

US President Donald Trump said late Monday night that he will sign an executive order temporarily suspending immigration to the US, as the nation battles the health and economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

“In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States! “ Donald Trump has tweeted.

It's unclear what mechanism Trump will use to suspend immigration and it is also unclear how long such a suspension could last.
