President Donald Trump said on Monday the Supreme Court's decision to allow his travel ban executive order to take partial effect was a "clear victory for our national security."

The court agreed to hear arguments on the order limiting travel for people from six majority Muslim countries and let it take effect for foreign nationals without clear ties to the United States.


"As President, I cannot allow people into our country who want to do us harm. I want people who can love the United States and all of its citizens, and who will be hardworking and productive," Trump said in a statement.
