Rudd: Trump travel ban could be 'propaganda opportunity' for IS
Donald Trump's travel ban is "divisive" and could be exploited as a "propaganda opportunity" by Islamic State terrorists, Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said.
In response, a spokesperson for Number 10 told ITV News: "We have been very clear that we believe this policy is divisive and wrong.
"Daesh will twist any policy from any Government for their own propaganda purposes."
Meanwhile it has been confirmed that MPs will next month debate whether Mr Trump should make a state visit to Britain after a petition calling for the trip to be downgraded gained the support of more than 1.6 million people.
Earlier President Trump fired the acting US Attorney General Sally Yates after she questioned whether his travel ban was "lawful".
