Donald Trump’s immigration order drew outrage and condemnation from world leaders. French President François Hollande urged European leaders to “stand up to” Trump, saying the U.S. president was encouraging extremism. A spokesperson for Angela Merkel said the German chancellor told Trump in a phone call he risks violating a Geneva convention requirement to take in war refugees on humanitarian grounds. And Iran’s government said it would soon take “reciprocal measures” to ban U.S. citizens.
