Prague Castle welcomes Trump ban on refugees

Prague Castle has welcomed the executive decision by US President Donald Trump to implement a 120-day ban on the entry of refugees; Jiři Ovčáček, the spokesman for Czech President Miloš Zeman, made a statement on twitter confirming his boss's support for the move. He said that Mr Trump, as well as the Czech president, were doing the opposite of what the "EU elites" were doing (in his view, protecting their citizens). The strict measures by the new US president, which include an indefinite ban on refugees from Syria, have come under heavy criticism from numerous aid organizations; the UN Refugee Agency has stated that the need to help refugees has never been greater.
