The European Parliament's chief Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt said Sunday he was proud of European policy of offering shelter to refugees who are trying to escape war and terror.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Friday, Trump signed an executive order suspending the US Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days and barring the entry for citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days.

Trump says Europe's a mess — but I'm proud the EU offers refuge to those fleeing persecution, war & terror.

Washington's measure has been criticized in the United States and around the world with the United Kingdom and Germany expressing concern over the possible consequences for their nationals holding second passports of the countries targeted by the ban.
