With his team set, the president is expected to sign a new travel ban executive order this week. The first one at the center of so much protest including the not my president s day protest taking place in several cities an the country. Currently that ban held up in court. Senior white house officials tell abc news a draft of the new order targets the same seven majority muslim countries as the original but the new draft does not have an indefinite ban on refugees from syria.

No attacks. Crime rates overall are low and later President Trump taking to twitter explaining his statement was in reference to i astory that was broadcast on fox news concerning immigrants and sweden. And the whole kerfuffle drew a pointed response from the british prime minister. We must all take responsibility and for very information we spread. Reporter there is a major substantive issue here and its the american commitment to europe, especially defense commitment. President trump called that into question. Hes blasted natos obsolete and scorned the eu and it will take more than words from mike pence to fix that. Lets talk more with Martha Raddatz and jon karl, down in washington. Martha, let me begin with you, general h. R. Mcmaster. You know him well, well respected inside the military and opposite of a yes man. He is the opposite of a yes man. He wrote the book dereliction of duty saying the joint chiefs of staffs should have spoken up during the vietnam war and the one thing, the big difference between Michael Flynn and h. R. Mcmaster, h. R. Mcmaster is nonpartisan, apolitical. I ka not imagine him ever getting up in front of a Political Convention and saying anything. He will speak back to President Trump in any way he can, but the downside here is he has no experience in washington, d. C. , really at all. Hes an active duty threestar general and from what we know, has views at odds with President Trump on issues like russia. Serge russia wants to be tough on russia and iraq was very much, i remember many times being with h. R. Mcmaster very welcoming to the iraqi people, hell have some things to say about that ban if it doesnt go well, im sure. Certainly be getting iraqi interpreters in. On that the president really probably will come later this week the aim to make his bulletproof in the courts. Reporter thats exactly the goal is making sure this is something that can withstand the constitutional challenge in the courts and its a very different process this time, george and thats why were not seeing it immediately. I dont expect it till the end of the week at the earliest because it is going through an intensive vetting process here and has his National Security cabinet in place. They will be weighing in on this including attorney general sessions, secretary kelly over at the the department of homeland security. This will not be rushed through and want to be sure they get it right this time, that it can withstand the challenge in court. No internal vetting of those comments about sweden and what a diplomatic incident they have created. Reporter its something he. You know, there was the official swedish twitter account which is actually controlled each week by a swedish citizen had a tweet, we have around 100 murders per year. Thats like two days in the u. S. Two days. You know, the bottom line is sweden has taken in a lot of immigrants, about 200,000 refugees over the last few years. But there is no sign at least yet of any kind of a major spike in crime in sweden. Okay, jon karl. Let alone terrorism. Jon karl and Martha Raddatz, thanks very much.
