# US president Donald Trump’s administration has been criticised for its decision to significantly cut the number of refugees admitted to the US every year to seven-thousand-500. Last year’s ceiling set under former president Joe Biden’s administration was 125-thousand. Trump says priority will be given to white Afrikaners from South Africa and other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination. The International Refugee Assistance Project says the administration is once again politicising a humanitarian programme by privileging Afrikaners while continuing to ban thousands of refugees who have already been vetted and approved.
