The numbers of Americans killed by citizens from the 7 banned countries since 1975: [View all]

Per Farid Zakaria who got the information from the Cato Institute (conservative think tank.)

ETA: this is people killed by citizens from these countries on American soil and does not include Iraqi soldiers in Iraq that time we invaded them for no reason.

Iraq - 0
Iran - 0
Somalia - 0
Sudan - 0
Syria - 0
Yemen - 0
Libya - 0

Numbers of Americans who have been killed by citizens from countries that were not included in the ban:

Saudi Arabia - 2369
Egypt - 162
UAE - 314
No countries that have a Trump hotel, building or office are on the list, so that's how these three stayed off it.

INCLUDING 9/11, the chance of an American citizen being killed by a terrorist on American soil since 1975 is 1 in 3.6 million per year.
