Three years ago, President Donald Trump included Libya and Somalia among the seven majority-Muslim countries subject to a US travel ban.

The US Supreme court upheld the measure  designed to implement his clampdown on immigration.

At Davos this week, Trump tells the Wall Street journal he is considering widening that ban.

It would include Nigeria, Sudan, Tanzania and Eritrea.

An announcement could be made as early at next Monday.

There is unlikely to be a blanket ban on citizens of those countries entering the US. However, it will be much tougher for them to get US business and travel visas.
