INDIANAPOLIS — LeBron James opposes President Trump’s executive order banning travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries, telling The Hollywood Reporter that it’s a divisive policy.
“I am not in favor of this policy or any policy that divides and excludes people,” James told the magazine. “I stand with the many, many Americans who believe this does not represent what the United States is all about. And we should continue to speak out about it.”
A source close to James confirmed the report to cleveland.com. Trump has said the ban was meant to keep the country safe from terrorists trying to get into the U.S.
James, 32, has been an outspoken critic of the Republican president, before and after his November election. He was among the Cavs who did not stay at the Trump SoHo hotel in New York over the weekend, even though it was the team’s hotel for their game against the Knicks.
Federal courts have placed Trump’s travel ban on hold, and the administration is fighting to have it restored.
