Inside Iraq: Lasting Effects of Trump’s Travel Ban
"Sitting here in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan with my friend, I can’t help but feel deeply embarrassed. The federal court’s ruling against the Trump Administration’s ill-conceived Muslim travel ban is a saving grace, and may degrade its full power. But it will be hard to remove the reality that a U.S. President displayed this inept strategy, and lack of loyalty, during a time of such important coordination and sacrifice between American and Iraqi allies."
