In July last year Trump suggested the United States could suspend immigration from what he called countries “compromised by terrorism” (including France) until vetting mechanisms were in place.
“We have problems in Germany, and we have problems in France” – both countries rocked by fatal attacks claimed by the Isis group.
When asked specifically if the proposal would limit immigration from France, he said: “They have been compromised by terrorism.”
“And you know why? It's their own fault. Because they allowed people to come into their territory.”
