President Donald Trump's travel ban on immigrant visa holders from seven Muslim nations has had little impact on travel, at least at the major Arabian Gulf carriers that control much of the airspace between the U.S. and the Middle East. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) followed an executive order by Trump on Jan. 27 to ban travel from seven countries, including war zones like Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Libya. The move was immediately called a "Muslim ban" on social media, leading to protests against the order in Washington, New York City, and at airports throughout the country. Initial rules to ban green card holders were scrapped following harsh criticism from U.S. family members. Green card holders are one step away from citizenship.
