Kuwait denies it imposed travel ban praised by Trump
Kuwait has denied a media report which said it had imposed a travel ban on citizens from
several Muslim-majority countries, a story which U.S. President Donald Trump praised
on Facebook.
"Smart!" a post on Trump's official Facebook page said on Thursday, linking to a report
on Jordanian news website Al Bawaba which alleged that Kuwait had "mirrored" a decision
by the Trump administration to temporarily bar travelers from several countries.
The article alleged that "Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians, Pakistanis and Afghans" would not
be allowed to enter the Gulf state "while the blanket ban is in place".
But Kuwait's foreign ministry refuted the report, which was widely picked up by news
websites popular with Trump supporters including Breitbart, Infowars and Sputnik.
Kuwait "categorically denies these claims and affirms that these reported nationalities
... have big communities in Kuwait and enjoy full rights," a ministry spokesman was quoted
as saying on state news agency KUNA on Friday.
Citizens of the countries mentioned visit Kuwait regularly, it added.
Confusion and protests at airports greeted the executive order Trump signed last weekend
to bar for 90 days entry into the United States by travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
Representatives of the proscribed countries as well as several neighboring nations condemned
the move, but Trump on his Twitter account said the initiative enjoyed support in the
region.
"Interesting that certain Middle-Eastern countries agree with the ban.
They know if certain people are allowed in it's death & destruction!" he wrote.
The United Arab Emirates was one country which did publicly give the ban a measured response.
Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed called
the ban an internal U.S. matter which did not target Muslims.
