The Trump presidency on Feb. 5 at 5:10 P.M. EST

(Reuters) - Highlights of the day for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Sunday: IMMIGRATION ORDER Trump ramps up his criticism of a federal judge who blocked a travel ban on seven mainly Muslim nations and says courts were making U.S. border security harder, intensifying the first major legal battle of his presidency. Iraq is satisfied with a U.S. appeals court ruling against the travel ban on people from Iraq and six other Muslim-majority countries, a government spokesman says. Washington state's lawsuit challenging Trump's executive order on immigration emerged out of a chaotic, 48-hour period in which the need for immediate action held sway over the kind of carefully thought-out strategizing that usually leads up to the filing of a major legal complaint, according to state Attorney General Bob Ferguson and other attorneys involved in actions against the order. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel says he was reassured after meetings last week with top U.S. officials that the United States is committed to a united Europe and to the NATO alliance. Despite declarations of unity at a recent European Union summit in Malta, EU countries are split on how to respond to policies from Trump, who has reversed staunch postwar U.S. support for European integration and suggested others follow Britain out of a bloc he has called "a vehicle for Germany." Trump's first two weeks in office have left some European politicians leaders aghast but are drawing cheers from France's far-right National Front, as its leader, Marine Le Pen, launches her own bid for power. The governor of Colorado says he believes the Cuban government wants to further improve relations with the United States under Trump, as he wraps up a three-day visit to the Communist-run island nation. VOTER FRAUD Trump says in remarks broadcast on Sunday that he would put Vice President Mike Pence in charge of a commission to probe what he believes was voter fraud in last November's election. MEDIA CONTROVERSY The editor-in-chief of Der Spiegel says a cover illustration of Trump beheading the Statue of Liberty, which split opinion at home and abroad, was a response by the German magazine to threats against democracy.
