WASHINGTON: Iraq was dropped from President Donald Trump's revised travel ban because of both the steps it is taking to better vet potential travellers and its cooperation in the fight to destroy Daesh, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday.
"I think both," State Department spokesman Mark Toner said when asked at a daily news briefing which of those two factors played a role in Iraq's removal from the list in President Donald Trump's executive order issued this week.
