Trump travel ban: Hawaii judge places indefinite hold

America : A US federal judge in Hawaii has indefinitely extended the suspension of President Trump’s new travel ban.

Judge Derrick Watson’s ruling means Mr Trump will be barred from enforcing the ban on six mostly Muslim nations while it is contested in court.

In a lawsuit, the US state says the ban would harm tourism and the ability to recruit foreign students and workers.

President Trump says his revised travel ban seeks to prevent terrorists from entering the United States.
