LONDON (AP) - The Latest on President Donald Trump, his travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries and other immigration actions (all times local): 12:10 p.m. The European Union’s foreign policy chief lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday, insisting that instead of building walls, the continent will “celebrate” every wall which is torn down and “every new bridge that is built up.” Building on criticism from several national EU capitals on Trump’s decision to impose a travel ban on refugees, EU High Representative Federica Mogherini said that “all men are first and foremost human beings, with their inalienable rights.” She says in a blog post that “everyone deserves respect, beyond their faith, gender, and nationality.” And she added between brackets “it feels so strange that we need to restate this, just days after Holocaust Remembrance Day.”
