"Donald Trump's executive order to halt travel from seven Muslim-majority countries - Iraq, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Somalia - has provoked a wave of concern and condemnation from international leaders and politicians. A spokesman for Angela Merkel said the German chancellor regretted Trump's decision to ban citizens of certain countries from entering the US, adding that she had "explained" the obligations of the Geneva refugee convention to the new president in a phone call on Saturday. "The chancellor regrets the US government's entry ban against refugees and the citizens of certain countries," Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert said in a statement. "She is convinced that the necessary, decisive battle against terrorism does not justify a general suspicion against people of a certain origin or a certain religion. "The Geneva refugee convention requires the international community to take in war refugees on humanitarian grounds. All signatory states are obligated to do. The German government explained this policy in their call yesterday." Seibert said the German government would examine what consequences the ban would have for German citizens with dual citizenship, and would "represent their interests, if necessary, before our American partners"."
