Trump sets cap of 7,500 for refugee admissions, the lowest on record
The Straits Times
|November 01, 2025
US President Donald Trump set the refugee admissions ceiling at 7,500 for fiscal year 2026, the lowest cap on record, a White House document published on Oct 30 said, part of a broader effort to reshape refugee policies in the US and worldwide.
-
Mr Trump said in an annual refugee determination dated to Sept 30 that admissions would be focused largely on South Africans from the country’s white Afrikaner ethnic minority.
He has claimed Afrikaners face persecution based on their race in the black-majority country, allegations the South African government has denied.
Mr Trump paused all US refugee admissions when he took office in January, saying they could be restarted only if they were established to be in the best interests of the US.
