Donald Trump: 'This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe' - Donald Trump defends executive order and attacks the media

Donald Trump's administration on Sunday tempered a key element of his move to ban entry of refugees and people from seven Muslim-majority countries in the face of mounting criticism even from some prominent Republicans and protests that drew tens of thousands in major American cities.
The US president signed the
directive on Friday, but the policy appeared to be evolving on the fly. Democrats and a growing number of Republicans assailed the move and foreign leaders condemned it amid court challenges and tumult at US airports.
The president's critics have said his action violated US law and the US Constitution. In a fresh defense of the action on Sunday, Mr Trump said his directive was "not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting."
