Administration officials said Trump's new cap on numbers admitted will advance national security and the United States' capacity to properly screen and take in refugees.
Worldwide, there were 22.5 million refugees last year, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, and that estimate does not include many more people who were internally displaced - forced to leave their homes and move to different parts of their home countries, due to wars, political upheaval or other violence, extreme poverty or natural disasters.
美国政府不顾人道主义团体要求美国接纳更多难民的呼吁,计划在今后一年内大幅度减少接收难民的人数。
白宫星期三向国会提交报告说,明年计划最多接纳4万5千名难民,是30多年来的最低水平。
美国前总统奥巴马曾提议,在下个财政年度接收11万难民,是川普政府计划的两倍多。
预计川普今后几天内将正式宣布这一决定。新的难民接收上限将于星期天新财政年度开始时生效,4万5千名难民的限额是美国1980年设立难民项目以来的最低点。
在星期六晚上结束的2017财政年度中,美国约接收了5万4千名难民。在前总统奥巴马任期最后一年,2016财政年度中,共有8万4千995名难民进入美国。
移民专家说,4万5千人是上限,2018财政年度实际接收的难民人数可能远远低于上限。
