Northern League leader Matteo
Salvini has hailed United States President Donald Trump's entry
ban on people from seven Muslim-majority States, adding he would
like something similar in Italy.
"I'd like what Trump's doing on the other side of the ocean
done here too," Salvini said Sunday.
He returned to the issue on Monday, saying people protesting
against Trump were in "bad faith".
"They voted, Trump won and he's just doing what he promised
in the election campaign," he added.
"The EU is letting anyone in, the US is better," Salvini
said, downplaying criticism of Trump from the United Nations
"because that is another useless body, it's no accident that
(Lower House Speaker and pro-migrant advocate Laura) Boldrini
comes from a career at the UN".
