President Donald Trump is defending a mandate his administration is putting into place that requires extreme vetting of immigrants fleeing countries with ‘tremendous terror’ as necessary to prevent attacks like the one at the World Trade Center.

He told ABC’s David Muir in his first interview since becoming president he’s not worried the strict rules will incite Muslim ‘anger.’

‘There’s plenty of anger right now. How can you have more?’ he replied as Muir pressed. ‘The world is a mess. The world is as angry as it gets.’

Trump is expected to announce a new refugee policy that replaced a proposed ban on Muslim immigrants any day now.

A draft of the executive order that was leaked to the press Wednesday calls for an indefinite halt to admission for Syrian refugees, and a four-month ban for all others.

The Trump administration is also considering a 30-day suspension, at least, of visas for anyone from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria or Yemen, according to Reuters.

While not explicitly aimed at keeping immigrants out who are followers of Islam, the policies would have that effect. The countries affected by the new regulations are majority-Muslim.

Syrians would be offered protection within a ‘safe zone’ inside their country – an idea that was considered by the previous administration and discarded because of the resources it would take to enforce it.

‘People that come in, in many cases, in some cases with evil intentions. I don’t want that. They’re ISIS. They’re coming under false pretense. I don’t want that,’ Trump said Wednesday.
