		</div><p>Donald Trump is considering signing a &#8220;brand new order&#8221; after his refugee and immigration travel ban was halted in court.</p>
<p>The US president, speaking to reporters on Air Force One, said he expected his administration to win the legal battle over his original directive.</p>
<p>But he said the White House was also considering other alternatives, including making unspecified changes to the order, which could address some of the legal issues.</p>
<p>As Mr Trump flew to Florida for the weekend, his advisers debated their next steps after the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a restraining order on the original travel ban.</p>
<p>The White House directive had suspended the nation&#8217;s refugee programme and barred all entries from seven Muslim-majority countries.</p>
<p>A White House official initially suggested the administration would not ask the Supreme Court to overturn that order, but chief of staff Reince Priebus scrambled to clarify that &#8220;every single court option is on the table&#8221;, including a high court appeal or &#8220;fighting out this case on the merits&#8221; in a lower court.<br />
Mr Trump&#8217;s executive order was hastily unveiled at the end of his first week in office.</p>
<p>While the White House boasted that he was fulfilling a campaign promise to toughen vetting procedures for people coming from countries with terror ties, the order caused chaos at airports in the US and sparked protests across the country.</p>
<p>The president has cast the order as crucial for national security.<br />
Earlier, he promised to take action &#8220;very rapidly&#8221; to protect the US and its citizens in the wake of the appeal court decision, but he did not specify what steps he planned to take.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll be doing things to continue to make our country safe,&#8221; Mr Trump pledged at a news conference with Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.</p>
<p>&#8220;It will happen rapidly. We will not allow people into our country who are looking to do harm to our people.&#8221;</p>
<p>The president&#8217;s comments were far more restrained than his angry reaction to last week&#8217;s initial court ruling blocking the travel ban when he attacked both the &#8220;so-called judge&#8221; in that case and the ruling, which he called &#8220;ridiculous&#8221;.</p>
<p>But Mr Trump continued to conjure images of unspecified danger, saying he had &#8220;learned tremendous things that you could only learn, frankly, if you were in a certain position, namely president&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;And there are tremendous threats to our country. We will not allow that to happen, I can tell you that. We will not allow that to happen,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>The 9th Circuit ruling represented a significant setback for Mr Trump in just his third week in office.<br />
The appellate decision brushed aside arguments by the Justice Department that the president has the constitutional power to restrict entry to the United States and that the courts cannot second-guess his determination that such a step was needed to prevent terrorism.</p>
<p>Senate minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted that Mr Trump &#8220;ought to see the writing on the wall&#8221; and abandon the proposal and called on the president to &#8220;roll up his sleeves&#8221; and come up with &#8220;a real, bipartisan plan to keep us safe&#8221;.</p>
<p>House of Representatives Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi promised: &#8220;Democrats will continue to press for President Trump&#8217;s dangerous and unconstitutional ban to be withdrawn.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/IMG_0738.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/IMG_0738-1024x335.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="209" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-106708" /></a></p>
<p>And Mr Trump&#8217;s former presidential rival Hillary Clinton offered a terse response on Twitter, noting the unanimous appeal court vote: &#8220;3-0.&#8221;</p>
<p>Congress&#8217; Republican leaders, House speaker Paul Ryan and Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, declined to comment.</p>
<p>US District Judge James Robart issued the temporary restraining order halting the ban after Washington state and Minnesota sued, leading to the government&#8217;s appeal.</p>
<p>The Trump administration has said the seven nations &#8211; Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen &#8211; have raised terrorism concerns.</p>
<p>The states have argued that the executive order unconstitutionally blocked entry based on religion and the travel ban harmed individuals, businesses and universities.</p>
<p>Mr Trump and his aides frequently refer to a ruling by a federal judge in Boston who declined last week to extend a temporary injunction against Mr Trump&#8217;s travel ban.</p>
<p>In a separate federal ruling in Seattle, a different federal judge put the ban on hold nationwide and it is that judge&#8217;s decision that the White House has challenged.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a decision that we&#8217;ll win, in my opinion, very easily and, by the way, we won that decision in Boston,&#8221; Mr Trump said.</p>
