Trump's order, a version of which he introduced during the presidential campaign, calls for the "extreme vetting" of migrants and refugees from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

"We want to ensure that we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas,"... Читать дальше...

Americans are pet crazy. Recent surveys show that more than two out of three Americans own some kind of pet. According to the ASPCA, almost half of American households own a dog and around a third are cat owners.
