British Prime Minister Theresa May "does not agree" with a contentious ban on immigration implemented by Donald Trump, the British government said.
The prime minister released her comments through a spokesman shortly after midnight, saying the UK would "make representations" if British citizens were affected by the 90-day ban on travel to the US.
"Immigration policy in the United States is a matter for the government of the United States, just the same as immigration policy for this country should be set by our government," the spokesman said.
"But we do not agree with this kind of approach and it is not one we will be taking. We are studying this new executive order to see what it means and what the legal effects are, and in particular what the consequences are for UK nationals. If there is any impact on UK nationals then clearly we will make representations to the US government about that".
It came after a Conservative MP revealed he was subject to the ban.
