Trump reopens old case after drug use was concealed in visa
Britain’s Prince Harry could now be added to America President Donald Trump’s deportation list. Trump has ordered the reopening of Harry’s visa case, which was closed five months ago. If Harry is found guilty of providing false information to obtain a visa, Trump could deport him.
If this happens, Harry will be the first person to be deported by Trump during his term. Trump has said he will not grant any exemption to Harry and his wife Meghan Markle. Meghan is an American citizen, Harry lives with her in the US.
The case relates to Harry’s autobiography ‘Spare’, in which he admitted to taking drugs as a teenager. Harry hid this when applying for a US visa. Taking issue with it, the right-wing organisation Heritage Foundation has applied to reopen the case.
America Trump to create commission to protect Christians
Trump America signed an executive order on anti-Christian discrimination. The order directs federal agencies to ensure that the rights of Christians are not violated. Trump said during the meeting that he would create a Presidential Commission on Religious Freedom, which would provide greater protection for Christianity.
Trump’s decision is being heavily criticized. Critics say the order prioritizes Christianity by eliminating the concept of religious freedom. The charge is that if Trump truly cared about religious freedom, he would also have paid attention to discrimination against Muslims, Jews, and others.
