Donald Trump
U.S. President Donald trump has accused two Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham trying to unleash a third world war. He wrote about this in his microblog on Twitter.

Earlier, McCain and Graham issued a statement in which it criticized the decree of the President of trump to toughen immigration policy. In their opinion, the order of the President “was not checked properly”, because it was not discussed with the state Department, ministries of defence and justice, reports ABC News. “We fear that the decree will contribute to the growing terrorist threat than to strengthen the security of States,” the senators said.
The decree of the President of the US signed January 27, applies to nationals of the seven countries with a predominantly Muslim population. We are talking about Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Sudan. Because of the disposition of some flights that flew in the USA, was withdrawn by the citizens of the States included in the list, despite the fact that they had American visas.
