Donald Trump considering issuing 'brand new' travel ban after original policy overturned by courts
As Mr Trump flew to Florida for the weekend, his advisers debated their next steps after an appeal court backed a restraining order on the original travel ban. The White House directive had suspended the nation's refugee programme and barred all entries from seven Muslim-majority countries. A White House official initially suggested the administration would not ask the Supreme Court to overturn that order, but chief of staff Reince Priebus scrambled to clarify that "every single court option is on the table", including a high court appeal or "fighting out this case on the merits" in a lower court.
Trump welcomes Abe with warm White House embrace
President Donald Trump welcomed Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe with a brotherly hug and warm words of admiration, as he ditched previously hard-charging rhetoric toward Tokyo during a White House summit. Trump praised his guest's "strong hands," the pair's "very, very good chemistry" and rolled out a White House military honor guard in a remarkable public display of diplomatic affection. The odd political couple had lunch at the White House before heading to Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida for further talks and a round of golf on Saturday.
