President Donald Trump is expected to sign a revised executive order early next week banning travel from several Middle Eastern and African countries.

The president will sign the new executive order at the Department of Homeland Security as early as Monday, Politico reports.

It is not clear what changes Trump plans to make to the revised travel ban.

The Associated Press reported last week that the reboot will only apply to six nations - taking Iraq off the list because it is a close ally to the US in the fight against the ISIS terror army.

Citizens of six other predominantly Muslim countries - Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen - will remain on the travel ban list, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Those bans are effective for 90 days.

The new executive order comes just over a month after Trump's original decree caused controversy across the United States.

It caused chaos at airports when people were detained before being sent back overseas, while others were banned from boarding flights at foreign airports.

Trump's original January 27 order was widely criticized as amounting to a ban on Muslims, and also for being rolled out sloppily - with virtually no warning to the public or preparation of the agencies tasked with enforcing it.

The order temporarily barred people from seven Muslim-majority countries from traveling to the United States for 90 days, as well as all refugees for 120 days and Syrian refugees permanently.

The original executive order, which banned travel from seven predominately Muslim countries, triggered worldwide outrage as well as protests (above) in the United States

The government initially blocked Green Card holders before offering those legal residents special permission to come into the country. It finally decided the order didn't apply to them.

The State Department provisionally revoked roughly 60,000 valid visas in all, before a federal judge in Washington state blocked the government from carrying out the ban.

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that decision, which could still be appealed to the Supreme Court.

The Trump administration has defended the order, saying more restrictions are needed to protect the U.S. from future terrorist attacks.

A new revised order has been rumored for sometime, but the White House decided this week to push back releasing a replacement after Trump's widely praised speech to Congress on Tuesday night.

'We want the (executive order) to have its own "moment",' CNN quoted an official as saying.
