Trump used a list that Obama signed into law. Trump's EO[1] refers to section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12)[2] for the list and makes no further modifications to it.

It has nothing to do with Trump's business interests, unless you're suggesting that the Congress and Obama made this list as a personal favor to President Trump?
