From Morning Report, 6:09 am on 27 June 2018

The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of the Trump administration's travel ban targeting people from several Muslim-majority countries. Lower courts had deemed the ban unconstitutional, but the US top court has reversed this decision in a 5-4 ruling announced on Tuesday. The ban prohibits most people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen from entering the US. Fronting for media a short time ago President Trump said the ruling was a great victory.
