Detailed Analysis:
  • Claim:** The order will bar citizens from 12 countries from traveling to the United States.
    • Verification Source #2: Supports this claim, stating Trump signed a ban on travel from 12 countries.
    • Verification Source #3: Contradicts this claim, stating the ban restricts entry for nationals of 19 countries.
    • Verification Source #1, #4, #5: Do not directly confirm or contradict the specific number of 12 countries, but mention different numbers of potentially affected countries (10, 40+, 43).

  • No verification source directly confirms or denies this specific claim. Verification Source #3 mentions restrictions, but not the number of countries.
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
  • Verification Source #2: Supports the existence of a travel ban from 12 countries.
  • Verification Source #3: Contradicts the number of affected countries, stating 19 countries are affected.
  • Verification Source #4 and #5: Suggest a much larger number of countries (40+ and 43 respectively) were being considered for the ban, indicating the situation was potentially fluid or that different versions of the ban were being discussed.
  • The lack of direct confirmation for the "seven other countries" claim suggests it may be unverified or a detail not widely reported.
