'It's not strict enough!' Somalian caller shocks Nigel Farage on Trump’s travel ban
NIGEL FARAGE was stunned as a Somalian caller insisted that President Donald Trump’s new travel restrictions were not strict enough.
LBC caller tells Farage Trump's travel ban ISN'T strict enough
The caller was angry about how the travel restrictions targeted only some countries and accused the President of thinking of himself with the policy.
Ahmed, the caller, fumed on LBC suggesting that the President ignored some nations for his own financial interests.
However when speaking to host Nigel Farage the caller explained that the policy was too liberal and should include more nations.
The caller said: “I am from East Africa myself, from Somalia and I've been in this country for 27 years, I'm a dual citizen, I'm a British citizen, and I am a Somali citizen.

“People like me are affected by this travel ban.
“Donald Trump hasn't chosen those countries that he has personal interest in, like Saudi Arabia, and, and UAE, where terrorists, main terrorists come from.”
Farage quizzed the caller attempting to unravel whether the President’s policy was not strict enough.
He said: “Are you saying Ahmed, that Trump really has been too liberal with this, and he should have had a lot more countries on the list?

It's not fair that he targets the weak countries, that have weak economic powers
“Is that what you're saying?”
Ahmed agreed, claiming that the policy did not include enough countries, and the US was still under threat, before he suggested Trump left some countries out for his own personal reasons.
He added: “Of course, yeah. Because it's not fair that he targets the weak countries, that have weak economic powers, that have no influential influence on the UN, United Nations.”
“He chose the weakest countries, the weakest Muslim countries, with low income.
“But he hasn't chosen those countries that he has personal interest in, like, for example, investment, he's got personal investment in those other countries that he didn't put in the list.
“I don't find it fair to be honest.”
The President signed a new order which will come into effect on March 16 restricting people from six countries from entering the US.
The order will not revoke existing visas approved before that date and does not explicitly apply to current lawful permanent residents and green card holders.
