YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As several fan groups, journalists and even a referee are denied entry to the U.S. for the World Cup, President Donald Trump said on June 10 that his administration is ensuring "the right people" enter the country.

The most high-profile denial has been Somali referee Omar Artan, who was named one of the 52 match officials but was refused entry to the United States at the Miami airport.

"We're working very closely to make sure the right people come into our country," Trump said on Wednesday.
