May?s first trip to the White House had earlier been celebrated as a triumph, with Trump accepting a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace. Prime Minister Theresa May faces a political storm on her return from visiting Donald Trump for her repeated failure to condemn the U.S. president?s order limiting immigration from Muslim-majority countries. Nadhim Zahawi, an Iraqi-born Tory lawmaker, pointed out that the ban covered him and his wife. Only when journalists heckled her to answer for a second time did she respond: ?The United States is responsible for the United States? own policy on refugees.?Going into the White House, May knew that Trump?s policies toward Muslims were going to be a problem for her domestic audience. Another Tory, Sarah Wollaston, said Trump should not be invited to address Parliament in his state visit to London later this year.

Groups that support curbing immigration applauded the order, highlighting that it made good on the president?s campaign... President Donald Trump?s order to temporarily suspend the U.S. refugee program and nationals from several majority-Muslim countries, as well as to indefinitely ban the entry of Syrian refugees, drew fierce condemnation from civil-rights organizations and leaders of faith-based groups charged with absorbing refugees.
