Trump cuts refugee admissions for 2019
The Trump administration slashed its annual cap on refugee acceptances on Monday for the second year in a row , saying it would take only a maximum 30 , 000 in the fiscal year to come.
That was down from a 45 , 000 limit in the year that ends on September 30 — but higher than the actual number of refugees resettled in the past year , estimated at below 21 , 000 .
“ The improved refugee policy of this administration serves the national interest of the United States , and expands our ability to help those in need all around the world , ” said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo . “ We are and continue to be the most generous nation in the world . ”
