The government of Iraq has voted to impose a travel ban on American citizens.
The move is in retaliation for the temporary ban placed on travelers from Iraq, and other Middle East nations, imposed by President Donald Trump via executive order, the Associated Press reported.

Iraqi lawmakers Kamil al-Ghrairi and Mohammed Saadoun told the Associated Press the decision is binding for the government and was passed by a majority of the Parliament, but did not give the specific vote total.
It was also unknown who exactly the ban is applicable to considering that American military personnel, aid workers and businesses are currently in the nation.
Social media wasn’t too concerned about the ban.
