A draft executive order indicates that President Donald Trump plans to end refugee admissions from Syria.

The order, obtained by The Associated Press, shows that President Donald Trump intends to stop accepting Syrian refugees and will suspend the United States' broader refugee program for 120 days.

The order is said to contain a strategy that suspends the issuing of visas to as many as seven Muslim countries for at least 30 days.

Trump is expected to sign the order this week. It is not clear whether the draft will be revised before then.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
