U.S. Navy veteran Mohammed Jahanfar has traveled overseas four times in the past year to visit his Iranian fiancee, most recently hoping to complete government paperwork that would allow her to come live with him in the United States.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump called Friday for a “tougher and more specific” U.S. travel ban after a homemade bomb exploded on a London train. In a flurry of early-morning tweets, Trump called the explosion another attack “by a loser terrorist” and suggested London police missed an opportunity to prevent it. He added that his travel ban targeting six mostly Muslim nations should be “far larger, tougher and more specific – but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!”
