US President Donald Trump is considering a new executive order to ban citizens of certain countries from travelling to the United States after his initial attempt was overturned in the courts.
Trump told reporters on Air Force One that a "brand new order" could be issued as early as Monday or Tuesday.
He said that it would change "very little", but he did not provide details of any new ban under consideration. "We'll win that battle," Trump told reporters, adding: "The unfortunate part is it takes time. We'll win that battle. But we also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order".
It comes after an appeals court in San Francisco upheld a court ruling to suspend his original order, which barred entry of citizens from seven mainly Muslim countries, causing chaos at US airports and sparking protests across the country. It is unclear what a new US immigration order might look like.
Despite his suggestion, Trump's administration may still pursue its case in the courts over the original order, which was halted a week ago by a Seattle judge.
