Polands foreign minister has defended President Donald Trumps immigration order banning entry to people from seven mostly Muslim countries, arguing that every sovereign country has the right to decide its own immigration policy.
Witold Waszczykowski said no state has the duty to accept immigrants and that Trump was elected president, he has the right to impose the ban.
Waszczykowski made his comments Sunday evening on Polsat News, a private television station.
Waszczykowski belongs to a conservative government that is strongly opposed to accepting Muslim refugees. Last year it played a key role in blocking a European Union effort to resettle refugees across the bloc.

For all the White Houses early bravado, President Donald Trump has taken office with few concrete plans for how to make good on his pledge to unravel President Barack Obamas foreign policy and tackle some of the biggest national security challenges facing his administration.
In calls with European leaders, Trump is said to have described his plans for confronting the Islamic State group with the same hard-charging but vague rhetoric he used in the campaign, promising strong, but unspecified action.
Pressed privately by allies about how he plans to pursue a better relationship with Russia, Trump sticks with his public assertion that a better relationship with Moscow would be beneficial for the West. But he hasnt said how he plans to get there.
According to one U.S. official, national security aides have sought information about Polish incursions in Belarus, an eyebrow-raising request because little evidence of such activities appears to exist. Poland is among the Eastern European nations worried about Trumps friendlier tone on Russia.

And down goes another ally... this one actually featuring a government that was willing to be bootlickers to the Trump agenda.
