The US Supreme Court approved on Monday, President of the United States, Donald Trump travel ban on six Muslim-majority countries to the United States, despite continued efforts against the law.

Libyan citizens will not be allowed to travel to the US.

The court, which consists of nine judges, two of whom rejected the decision, allowed two previous court rulings to partially suspend the controversial law to be lifted for a “full implementation” of the ban to take place.

Other countries included in the ban are Iran, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Chad.
