Arena not critical of Cameron's pro-Trump stance on immigration ban

CHATTANOOGA -- U.S. national team coach Bruce Arena said he has no problem with defender Geoff Cameron's support of President Trump's controversial Jan. 27 immigration order, he said following the Americans' 1-0 friendly win over Jamaica here Friday night.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated on Thursday, the Stoke City veteran said he was in favor of a "temporary immigration pause" that bars some people from seven majority Muslim countries from entering the United States for 90 days.

"I am pleased he is making security of all Americans one of his top priorities," Cameron said.
