Trump administration to allow just 7,500 refugees in drastic cut

The Trump administration unveiled a controversial policy on Thursday, announcing plans to drastically reduce the number of refugees admitted annually to the United States to a historic low of 7,500 by fiscal year 2026. This marks a sharp decline from the over 100,000 refugees accepted annually under President Joe Biden. The new policy also prioritizes white South Africans, particularly Afrikaners, who the administration claims face persecution in their homeland.
