US update:
Once again, the Trump administration plans to reduce the total number of refugees that will be admitted to the US in FY21 to yet another new low, or 15,000. Moreover, despite the release of a State Dept. statement on the administration's intentions, this ABC News article points out that "President Donald Trump has not yet signed a new executive order on admissions and officially set a new cap, so all refugees that were already approved for processing will now be left in limbo overseas."
