Washington: US President Donald Trump said on Friday he is confident his administration will prevail in the legal battle over his controversial immigration order, while pledging to move quickly on additional security measures. An appellate court decided unanimously on Thursday to maintain a block on Mr Trump's order barring refugees and nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States - a ruling Mr Trump denounced as "disgraceful."
But Mr Trump skirted the setback at a news conference with visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, while vowing to do "whatever is necessary to keep our country safe."
"We'll be doing something very rapidly having to do with additional security for our country. You'll be seeing that sometime next week," the president said.
"In addition we will continue to go through the court process, and have no doubt we'll win that particular case," he said.
