U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson declared Monday that President Donald Trump's renewed ban on travelers from six Muslim-majority countries is "a vital measure for strengthening our national security."

"With this order, president Trump is exercising his rightful authority to keep our people safe," Tillerson said, after Trump signed a revised version of an order that had previously been thrown out by US courts.
