(VOVworld)- Legal permanent US residents from seven countries whose citizens are covered by a three-month American travel ban won't need special permission to come back to the United States after all.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Wednesday that green card holders will now be allowed to enter and leave the United States as they please, despite the ban. Spicer's announcement was the latest effort to clarify and adjust President Donald Trump's executive order banning travel and immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries. The order, signed Friday, has caused drawn international criticism and spawned widespread panic among travellers and apparent confusion within the government about how the order should be implemented.
