On June 26, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Donald Trump’s travel ban, allowing the U.S. to bar or restrict entry by people from five Muslim-majority countries, in addition to North Korea and some government officials in Venezuela. Three countries included in previous versions of the ban—Chad, Sudan and Iraq—have been removed. The list doesn’t include Muslim-majority countries where the Trump Organization has done business or pursued potential deals. Properties include golf courses in the United Arab Emirates and two luxury towers operating in Turkey.
